Default Will start making Servo leads for Futaba servos
I want to trick out my buggies and start customizing servo leads and switches.

Which crimper tool and wire stripper should I use?

Where can I get good quality Futaba connectors/pins and wires?st

and (out of the topic}... I will start customizing my esc cables too.
Which cable size and brand should I use for the esc to motor cables? different colors?

A couple good sources:

Hansen Hobbies Connectors and Accessories

TQ Racing

I like TQ 13ga wire for traditional 1/10 scale power wiring, 2wd buggies and trucks. Usually go with 12ga Deans Ultra for 1/8 electric, Tekin is a good choice too I believe.
