Replaceable plug in wires for transponders
Why have MYLAPS or MRT not thought of doing this yet? They could easily have replaceable plug in wires for transponders in all different lengths like a sensor wire. Seems like a no brainer. |
They wouldn't be able to sell new transponders very often. Money maker for them as is. -(
|
I also think dirt and moisture can affect the reliabillity of the contacts in the open.... solder tabs would be a better idea.
|
Why would it be any different than the receiver plugs? I’ve never seen a Rc plug contact fail because of dirt/moisture. Maybe broken frayed wires but not dirt. I think the solder tabs would be ok but what happens when’s the case gets all burned by a noob like they do with their ESCs? Just put a replaceable rubber grommet around the plug. |
I have put a rx plug on a few transponders and had to go back and hardwire them and remove mod due to bad looks when trying to sell. peeps that bought passed those by..

also looks better. you can just open it up and resolder when changing wires, but you should only need to when changing classes.

What does my avatar have to do with it? Assume.... What do 1/8 off-roaders and 1/10 buggies do with their electronics now? How would this be any different. Suddenly this one connection makes the idea useless? Don’t like a plug, get the hard wired version. All the other 90% of racers would like the option. My point is as of today, if your transponder wire gets messed up you’re screwed. You can hack it together which always looks like crap or some even hack into the case which looks like crap too. |

folls that aren’t great at soldering (more than you’d think) that a clean plug would be a great option. |

so you’re suggesting internal solder tabs? Hmm...there’s an option. I’m just thinking for folls that aren’t great at soldering (more than you’d think) that a clean plug would be a great option. Untitled Document |

And if they are sick of zipping them up then I think at that point it's time to break out the servo wire crimp tool so you avoid a job like that ebay one. And the crimp tool is not difficult to use. |
That ebay one is pretty ugly. Just use the crimper.
