Warning: DO NOT BUY THESE!!! I ordered a bunch to stock up because the LHS was out of the Duratrax ones I usually use. They say they are thin, but they are in fact TOO THICK TO PUT IN A BATTERY! I reduced the radius with pliers bending all 4 prongs evenly and still no joy. I tried Trinity and Racer's edge packs, and they fit NEITHER. My only conclusion is they are DEFECTIVE!!
The Best! TQ are the only connectors, and wire I will use!
I picked up several of these so I could mount Deans connectors on them. Their "low-profile" mounting was nice so it would tuck inside a tight buggy body nicely without pointing straight up. I probably should have verified the length of the tubes that these would push into before I bought them but they're about 2mm or so so tall for my applications (SMC batteries). I won't hold that against them as it's my fault I bought the wrong size, but they also fit very loose. I had to open the prongs up on each one for a better seal and they still feel really loose. I wouldn't be surprised if a hard crash knocks a plug out. I would expect the material on the plugs to be thicker and more grippy, but they're actually pretty thin and flimsy. I won't buy them again.
These are great connectors! I've used a lot of different kinds and keep going back to these, thank you TQ!
Worked great, good product. Easy to sauder, got the 14mm too but they are too short.
Reviewers are split on these 4mm low-profile male bullet connectors. Two reviewers rate them 5/5 and praise their quality, ease of soldering, and reliability. Two others report fit problems: one found the connectors too thick to fit inside battery tubes and could not make them fit after bending the prongs, while another found them about 2mm too tall for SMC batteries and felt the fit was loose even after opening the prongs. A 3/5 reviewer noted the low-profile mounting suited tight buggy bodies. A reviewer who bought the 14mm variant found it too short, which is a different product. Fit appears to depend on the battery and tube dimensions, so buyers should check tube length and diameter before ordering.
