sidewaysjim Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Hiya! Anyone ever changed the battery connectors on a micro rs4? The reason, for those that don't know these connectors, is because they are very loose, so if you have a slight bump or uneven surface it resets the ESC as the power circuit breaks. Second reason i want to do this is there's no connection for these on my overlander rc6 charger, and I would much rather monitor my charge rates as best possible as I'm using drift wheels on laminate flooring, so I don't notice the loss of power when the flatery is batt...

Deafty Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 don't know said model but 'micro deans' connectors might be the ticket.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewaysjim Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Look good, and a definite option but not sure they can charge on the overlander? I need to double check this though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deafty Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) The overlander is is a multi charger 50 or 80w if I'm not mistaken. You just need a charge lead. so whilst you are soldering your battery and esc connectors solder a micro deans male one onto a a charge lead,. simples. If u dont have spare cable or banna plugs go to Hobbyking they will have micro deans too I got some micro deans for my losi 1:25 micro but end up using mini jst plugs cant remember why as micro deans are better ut they work well with my little 2s lipo so thats another option. Not to mention your charger may allready have lead for mini jst Edited September 29, 2014 by Deafty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I got rid of those horrid connectors on the Micro RS4 ages ago, now have deans connectors soldered on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewaysjim Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Deans is what my other batteries have so I decided to stick to it. Thanks for all of your advice everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
