After many failed attempts, watching this was extremely useful, thanks John!!
Glad it helped Greg.
I appreciate this simple yet informative walk through!!
Thank you for a straight forward, to-the-point instructional. I’ve wasted so many of these little jewels!
John, as usual your videos are always excellent.
Audio and description of the function being performed is very clear.
Video is as well clear, in focus and at a distance that shows enough detail for the viewer to understand how to get the desired result.
Thanks for all of your efforts in putting these videos together and inviting all of us “into” your workshop!
Glad you found it helpful/useful - best of the season 🙂
@@RchelicopterfunAnd to you and yours 🎄 Peace
Thank you! Got a kit with no instructions. Didn't have a clue until I watched this.
Thanks for viewing & happy crimping 🙂
I had no idea how to make the female end. Thank you.
You’re welcome 👍
Thanks for this video. I figured I’d try to make my own splitters and adapters instead of cutting up the ones I already have.
Thank u i was going to pay somone to shorten my wires on my servo but now i will do my own and i think i have those crimpers from when i worked on my harley same style pins crazy
did you succeed?
I have a motor fan cable to fix. This video was very helpful!
Glad it helped
Teach a man to fish… thanks John!
You bet
@@Rchelicopterfun repainting an detailing out the Roban 800 Huey this winter. She still flies great. Question, how much play in the tail rotor gears is acceptable? Like how much should I be able to move the tail rotor without the main rotor moving? I've started to get a little play and I remember seeing your tear down video that you had a lot of wear on some of your gears. Thanks!
@flyboywbl - I personally like to see no more than about half a tail blade width of backlash free-play. Much more than that and it's time to start looking for the reason. Generally introducing shims into the steel umbrella gears to tighten up the backlash is all that's required; but as you know, if you see noticeable wear on the steel gear teeth then it's gear replacement time. With all that said, the Huey would have more movement because there is also the boom angle drive in there so two additional bevel gears which obviously increases the amount of backlash movement.
@@Rchelicopterfun hey thanks John! Really appreciate that, it helps a lot. I only have about 10 flights on it so far but I'll check those things when I tear it down for the repaint. Cheers!
Thanks a lot! Really useful!
Nice work, the electrics in my r2 is differently not my great skill set but still learning one step at a time. Thanks for the video.
👍🙂
Best tool (that's accessible to hobbists) for crimping dupont (servo) terminals is the Hozan P-706. Use the 1.8mm round die for the insulation and the 1.4mm "double D" die for crimping the conductor. Lightly pre crimp the insulation so that you can still adjust the position of the terminal on the wire and line up the end of the insulation between the conductor and insulation crimp wings then fully crimp the insulation followed by the conductor. The "brush" end of the conductor crimp (the side opposite the wire) should be lined up with the face of the tool so that the area where the conductor bundle enters the crimp barrel will hang out about 0.2mm and form a "bell mouth" (this prevents the edges of the crimp from cutting the strands). If using 22-26 AWG wire just bear down and fully close the die, it's just the right height for that gauge of wire and won't over crimp. I tested vs crimps made with an HT-95 which is the official tool for dupont terminals and the pull out resistance was comparable. While this is more tedious to use it's basically foolproof and you get perfect crimps with it every time and the crimp quality beats out the other generic open barrel crimpers I've tried with these terminals, almost as good as the official tooling.
Thank you for the tutorial!
I've been trying to figure out how to wire up six servos in my upcoming 1/4 scale rc rock crawler project: 4 steering servos (2 on each axle), and 2 shift servos for locking the differentials. Because I plan on using high voltage servos (i.e., the Savox 2290SG), I have to use external BECs. I think I should be able to make some servo adapters so 2 or 3 servos can share 1 BEC. I'll get the proper tools and start experimenting with it! I'll visit your website and look around, but do you happen to have pointers on wiring diagrams for multiple servos sharing BECs and batteries? I think I have a good idea of the commonly known 2 servos + 2 motors + 2 ESCs + 1 RX + 1 BEC + 1 battery setup many people in the MOA (motor on axle) crawlers community use. However, the 1/4 scale crawler is much bigger and heavier, so I'm still trying to figure out the electronics setup for it...
Thanks again for the tutorial!
Thanks!
Thank you so much 🙂👍
Excellent video!
Thank you - Cheers.
Top instruction!
🙂
Good job, and very nicely explained.
Good video
I actually solder my servo connectors but i don`t presolder the pins, just the wire ends and like you say 2-3 mm and afterwards, manually crimp the pin with a random plier.
Does it matter if the servo connectors are plugged backward into receiver? Some servo have all black wire cant tell whic is the red blac and white
Yes. If you want to understand why, this page on my site will help: www.rchelicopterfun.com/rc-servos.html
