Best way to install a 5A fuse?

Hello,

With the new Jamara 480s in my Pershing, I'm a little worried that a stuck pebble in the sprockets will quickly fry the Taigen 2.4Ghz board. From what I've read, the Taigen board can sustain up to 5A? So I plan to install one of those 5A glass cylinder fuses - My current theoretical method would be to one of the power cables, perhaps solder (?) the wire ends onto the fuse and cover the whole thing up with electrical tape. Not easily exchangable, but I reckon a burnt fuse is a rather rare occasion.

I've seen a system with a plastic case housing the fuse in my other Tiger, but I'm not sure where you can buy these seperately.

Any tips? Is my theoretical method a recipe for disaster? Any tips welcomed!

Go to a car spare parts shop and buy an inline fuse holder and add the required fuse into that.
Just need to wire in the two wires to the positive wire.
