My guess would be Heat shrink.

I don't think it's heat shrink cause you can see each individual wire, and the lead weights look carbon like a sticker or something

He removed the leads individually from the plug and wrapped Each wire with shrink.

The lead weight's are just that, lead weights with a carbon sticker

Dear Customer Service,


I was Trying to dye my servo wires and Accidentally left my servo in Boiling Hot Water and Forgot about it and now its Melted to the bottom of the pot. Can I get warranty, I feel the wires should come black from the start.

I think TQ wire products makes black wires that you can solder onto the board of your servo/esc etc. I've replaced the wires on an esc and it wasn't too bad so I don't imagine a servo would be any different.

My LRP SXX TC Ver.2 weighs 3 oz and if I weigh the other side it would be about 1.1 oz (ESC, 1/2 oz wt, and transponder) Should I add more weight next to receiver or am I being to anal?

unless your car is leaning on the receiver side when jumping leave it, plain and simple!

Done a bit of rewiring, cut the switch off and shortened the capacitor wires, servo/esc/pt wires will get shortened at some point
