Polymax 5.5mm Gold Connectors 10 pairs (20pc)

 nlmbc 589 points

Yes these will work fine for you. Just remember to set it up with heat shrink over the conectors. You might to look at using the male for neg and female for pos if you have battery packs you might put in series to make a 6s pack out of lower cell count packs.

 nlmbc 589 points

you solder them to wire small hole on side is the wire side. Use hole to get soldering tip into to help heat solder and wire conection then cover with heat shrink. Depending on how you plan on using batteries will depend on how you solder your conectors. series etc.

Hello, I fill the pond before the connector and then we plunge bath in the thread. I think there is no better way to take advantage of this kind of thorns.

 Daniel 8 points

They appear to just be different runs from the factory, or come from a different supplier, and should be the same connectors

Dude! 5.5mm are huge, EC3 plugs or the standard traxxas plugs would be suitable for that application

IS WILL BY FINE BUT MAMBA USE 6.5MM

 Felipe Matiussi 3 points

These connetors are enough for your application. Have fan!

NO, castle creations mamba monster uses 6.5mm bullets!

 oswaldo 268 points

yeah found out about thats lol.. to bad HK dont sell 6.5mm bullet connector, i need like 20 pairs..

 Jan 1 points

Castle's plugs are shorter.

 MTA-4 87 points

You can, but the need for the motor plugs to be changed depends on the max current draw of the motor. Just because the ESC can handle 200amp doesn't mean the motor will pull that much power. Check the max current for your motor and if it's above about 120amp I would upgrade them, but otherwise the 4mm will be fine with good quality silver solder.

 EclipseCommando 5 points

Idk how many amps my motor can pull thats this thing, it just came in a box with no mannal or papers and theirs no information on the site about it. I just spent around $80 for a new battery, esc and connectors i hope i dont need a new motor too. Also ^^^^^^ can i use normal sivler solder for these connectors on a 200A?

 EclipseCommando 5 points

Ive got the motor basic infor i that helps? 3660 - 2700kv

 MTA-4 87 points

Regular silver solder will be fine for a motor that size. I'm running a 36-74 2900kv in a 1/8 short course truck I've converted for drag racing, ant that only pulls 110A max, so it probably won't pull more than about 80A max.

 EclipseCommando 5 points

So if my motor pulls 90A and my esc is 200A, will my esc only push 90A to my motor or will it blow up or something. Idk how people get there motors and esc to match each other, but i know how to get the battery to match the esc. The rc world is so frustrating, well is this setup run without problem? 200A (no bec) 3660 - 2700kv (pulls around 90A, 4mm connectors) 3000mAh 3S 40C (5.5mm connectors) FS - GT3B 2.4ghz tx & rx (rx powered by 800mAh 15c 1s)

 MTA-4 87 points

The esc will only let as much power through as the motor demands, so you should have no problems with that setup. Even if you decide at a later date to upgrade your motor to something insane, your esc will still be more than capable of handling the power requirements of just about any inrunner in the 36mm range, and just a battery upgrade may be required as your battery will only push 120A continuous, and ideally your motor will only continuously pull 80% of your batteries constant current rating. Good luck with it all, and let me know how it goes.

I had an situation where motorplugs are 6mm male connectors, but I had only these 5.5mm females at hand. I simply drilled the connectors to 6mm. works fine. no issues. current draw around 100 Amps. And since these are between motor-ESC, no need to detach and attach.

 Battle fury 98 points

these connectors are sutiable up to 10 awg size according to me. And according to me both connectors listed by HK are the same to me but different in weight and price. hopes this helps

sorry, should have said, its for 8awg wire

 gouldie 401 points

6mm red and black sold here on hobbyking

 Lownfast 68 points

6mm works on both, but it needs to be stretched a bit before fitting in place. Generally I use 8mm, with an extra, short piece of 5mm around the wire only to increase its' size a bit before shrinking the 8mm in place. It just means no gap at the rear and a nice tight, neat fit.

 gouldie 401 points

i use 6mm and never had to stretch it fits over nice and shrinks tight onto the cable. just make sure to clean off any excess solder first and 6mm should slide right on

 levpardede 109 points

looks like that esc comes with 4mm bullet, i don't know what type it is, if i were u i keep buy this 5.5mm bullet and change with this, also buy 6mm heat shrink for covering the connector. i use torch instead iron solder to join them and good up to 10AWG cable..good luck

 Ryan 2 points

You can use 6mm, but it's tight on the 5.5mm Male connectors. Use a small set of needle nose pliers to stretch the heat shrink a little just before you put them over the male connectors.

 levpardede 109 points

seems like no direct fit to me..

 hnvasa 101 points

Yes these are suitable for such esc...you will only have to do is solder the power wires of esc to these connectors...

 Lownfast 68 points

None of the Turnigy 150A ESC's come with connectors - they are supplied with appropriately sized wire ready for you to solder your favoured connector on. These connectors give good contact surface area and should be able to be used with the ESC.

 gouldie 401 points

i use these for my rc cars as they are cheaper and weight aint a big matter, and also the batterys i run come with these fitted as standard so it just saves time soldering

 Dirk 32 points

The bigger Turnigy lipos (3000-5000mAh) have 5.5mm like these connectors as factory default.

 jmdanna 2 points

You can use them on batteries that already have 5.5mm bullets on them to save from more soldering

 levpardede 109 points

yess, most zippy or turnigy big packs comes with 5,5mm bullet..save time and skill to solder bullet connector lol...

 Davide 18 points

 WOLF IV 163 points

GO WITH THESE! DEANS ARE FOR LOW AMP DRAW AND SPRING WEARS ON THE DEANS AND CAN CAUSE UNWANTED SHORTS RESULTING IN POWER FAILURE.

 A.L.Ttuning 44 points

I use it with 150A HK ESC and 6mm shrink tube :)

 Keven 25 points

Good decision to change the plugs. 5,5mm Connectors can handle a lot more amps and are safer. Shrink tubes around 7-8mm should be fine.

 Father Time 11 points

Why not just go to the XT60 connectors for 10-12G. Much easier to solder than Deans, they hold well but are not hard to get apart. The price is definitely right here. If you go to bullet style you must remember to always connect the negative side first! Turnigy 6mm heat shrink will work just fine.

 PlaneKrazyToo 45 points

4mm will cary the current comparable to the deans. 5.5 mm will be needed if you have >20c 6 cell. Caveat this style is not cased and independent on the leads. I doubled my heat shrink to protect for rash. If you follow the male female on postive and negative because they are not a single molded assembly. There is an extreme fire hazard and battery hazard if anyone including kids connect the battery ends to each other! I zip tie or heat shrink my battery lead ends so this is not tempting and reduce the safety concern.

 darren 10 points

im using these 5.5mm and they are awsome, maybe 6mm shrink as it does shrink quite alot so you could use bigger to be sure

 Josh 12 points

The 5.5mm are much easier to work with the 10 guage wires - 7mm heat shrink fits both 10 and 12 guage wires.

 PhoenIX_rc 395 points

Yes- But it a bit overkill. You will fit like 3 of 14AWG wires side by side

 MTA-4 87 points

Probably bigger than you need for 14AWG. I'd suggest the 3.5mm version unless you're pushing more than 100amp.

 pepito grillo 26 points

ok and hi cuality

 nobodyFamous 119 points

14AWG may be a little small, but what I do if I need to fit a larger wire. . . Strip back wire about twice as long as normal, twist it up, and then fold over. This works well for both crimp connectors and soldering. You may want to go to the 4mm. They are also very nice.

 darius59 29 points

perfect for 10AWG wire

 WOLF IV 163 points

you could go with 12 guage..

 Josh 12 points

They are rather large for 14 guage wire - as an indication, 10 guage fits nicely.

 Davide 18 points

they are perfect

 Davide 18 points

i think that there are no difference.I bought both polymax 5.5 mm and they work at the same without differeces.

 alex.g 110 points

really.. what is the diff?

 alex.g 110 points

really.. what is the diff?

 PhoenIX_rc 395 points

There IS visible difference in machining quality.

These have good finished and FLAT contact surface, the other one are just cheap and contact surface is curved and ***py.

I use these inside models, and the cheap one in charging leads.

 legobrains 47 points

PhoenIX is right.I have a video that shows the difference between the two named "Polymax 5.5 mm KG55001 Versus AM-1005" and I also attached a photo under the files tab.

 ???man 14 points

1. the cheaper ones are ***RLY machined. Infact legobrains had better luck than i do. Mine had flared ends and upon closer inspection, the actual contact area bewteen the plug and socket is only approx 30% contact area. This is because the flare ends of the plug props the contacting surface of the plug away from the socket. Please avoid these unless you like burnt esc.

 Davide 18 points

for my experience, i can say that there is not difference. I use both indifferently!
