Herr Doc's Various Questions
Rather than butt in on others' threads or start a new thread each time, I am going to use this thread for my questions. I have so many.

Re: Herr Doc's Various Questions
Despite two hours of searching here on RCTW and on the web generally, I cannot find the name for the type of connectors now used by HengLong for the TK6.0-7.1 MFU to motors. Are these "bullet" connectors? (Licmas of Germany sells the appropriate connectors, but the cost of posting them would be silly, epecially since I can likely find them here in the U.S. and I would not hesitate to solder them if even needed. Nonetheless, here is the photo from Licmas):

Re: Herr Doc's Various Questions
I hope soon to start on my WCP (Will and Catherine's) SdKFz 251. I have been saving information, and found this photo in my file on the SdKFz 251. I have one of these, but it will be quite large to hide, and it may be a bit "overkill" for the use. Do you have any advice?

Re: Herr Doc's Various Questions
That looks very big for the work you want it too do, I went to E-Bay and bought a "2 way 18a x 2 mixed brushed ESC Speed Controller" It gives 4 channels plus 2 separate motor connectors + a Power connector,Herr Dr. Professor wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2025 4:37 pm I hope soon to start on my WCP (Will and Catherine's) SdKFz 251.

Dual Esc.jpg
it is 3.5 cm x 2 cm x 3mm the longest of the 5 connector cables is 16 cm long,
The seller is "zh20it" and it cost me £13.01,
I believe they now sell the same ESC but smaller,
If you go to his site you will see a very wide range of his products,
Hope this helps,
I think I am about to upset someone

Re: Herr Doc's Various Questions

Good evening Mr.pofessor, following the photo on your cords? Have you looked in an auto accessories store? seems to be the same as the Tamiya motor and DMD sheets? These are “Japanese” type terminals

Re: Herr Doc's Various Questions
For your ESC I am of the opinion of "Gardening" this one is more of a type for RC cars, 320 Amps? seems excessive to me, personally 30 A seems sufficient to me? Afterwards, I'm not an ESC specialist, but even on some electric racers, they weren't used that big?

Re: Herr Doc's Various Questions
Thank you, Tanker 1966, jarndice, Jofaur86, and Meter rat: I will use the links provided to get a clear ID of the exact term for the connectors, and you have confirmed my feeling that the ESC is overkill and oversized for my purposes. I'm glad to have a potential source for a smaller "mixed" ESC.
