HobbyKing bullet connector assembly tutorial

[helicopter234]

Wow, never thought that somebody could need a tutorial for Lipo connectors...

@helicopter234 7444 views...so yes some people do need tutorials for these types of connectors...

Wow wtf was this guy, u didn't even do it.....

[TheKingPhisher]

@bmark0610 LMAO....yeah sorry if you were mislead by the title of the video. Can I make it up to you by sending you a free R/C car?

[Rcslashchannle1]

@TheKingPhisher i'll take one please :)

[anothershakey]

man that was boring, 10 minutes on how to do it, and you didn't even do it... :-)

[TheKingPhisher]

@anothershakey My intention for this video was to show a general guide to how to assemble the special HobbyKing connectors. It wasn't meant to teach you how to solder.

I can find the 3.5 and 4mm versions, but i cannot find the 5.5mm which you speak of in the video and which i require for the higher capacity batteries from HobbyKing. Are they no longer available? If they are, do you happen to have a link to them? A search has yielded no results.

[TheKingPhisher]

@Thezeronumber Yep seems like they've discontinued the 5.5mm now. I haven't looked recently at what kind of connectors come on their high discharge batteries but I think they use yellow squarish connectors so you may want to swtich to those.

[Thezeronumber]

@TheKingPhisher Damn... Not good. :( The 5,000+ mAh packs i am looking at for 2s and 3s use 5.5mm Bullet collectors as standard.

I'd either need to change the car to Bullets and add the plastic protector to all the Lipos (my preferred option) or change all the Lipos to Deans. But HobbyKing seemed to of been the only place i could find 5.5mm connectors and plastic protectors.

hi! my esc gets hot when runnin it at full power for 30 sec, do you think that it may get less hot if i solder the wires? i dont have them soldered thats why

[TheKingPhisher]

@heberorozco You don't need to solder the ESC to the motor. Bullets will work fine if you have the correct size for the application. Most ESCs will get warm or hot when running at full power especially if there is a good load on the motor.What ESC, motor and battery are you running? Is it for heli?

[heberorozco]

@TheKingPhisher it is for a plane, the motor says that the recommended prop is 8x4, so i am using that prop, the motor is a 2200kv 18amps brushless motor, 30amps ESC, 1500 15c lipo battery 22.5amps constant. when i go at full power the motor starts losing power slowly (Rpm). i will get those bullet connectors today, but i think that its a batery problem right?

[TheKingPhisher]

@heberorozco yeah sounds like a battery and/or connection problem. Yeah I recommend you get bullets, they have very little resistence and are safer. Since your application is low power of 30A you could get the 3.5mm bullets. They're smaller and lighter good for aircraft but still rated for about 70A continuous.

[heberorozco]

@TheKingPhisher hey, i just got those 3.5mm bullets! heheh! i also read that because my battery is new i must break in the battery, so i am doing that :)

[heberorozco]

@TheKingPhisher i had the esc connected to the motor by twisting the cables and the same to the battery, thats why i am wondering if that creates some resistense.

[coliss30]

did you try this connector whit 3s 40 and 8 awg wire im stuck

[TheKingPhisher]

I have not tried 8 AWG wire but if the 4mm version doesn't fit you'll probably have to go to the larger 5.5mm version from HK.
