Does anyone have any experience with Tamiya standing behind their warranty after changing connectors. I would like to change the Tamiya connectors to either Deans plugs or bullet connectors but don't want to void my warranty.

I would imagine it would invalidate the warranty. Complays will do anything to get out of a free replacement.

Worth considering an adaptor?

The reason I want to change is to give myself a little more room inside the tank. I should have stated that in my original post. An adaptor would only make things worse I'm afraid. Thank you for your input.

Changing connectors will invalidate it but you can always change the power cable directly at the board if your solderings neat.

Incorrect, it's lifetime with Tamiya USA where Jtrack I believe is. In UK it's the statutory one year. Not sure about Tamiya Japan.

I think I will send Tamiya an email and see what they have to say.

Consumer law here is 12 months also how come US has lifetime ?

Are you UK based kaiser? If so its not Tamiya that are the issue its the UK distributor hobby co (bunch of eejits from my dealings with them) that won't accept anything older than a year

However find a friendly American who can forward you electronics to Tamiya usa and your sorted....
