dazp1976 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) Easiest way. Get one of these and cut the larger end off, solder or splice fan on the end of cable. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100mm-Servo-Extension-Lead-Wire-Cable-MALE-TO-MALE-KK-MK-MWC-flight-control-1-/231590446176?var=&hash=item35ebddc460:m:mDUaL_Ozoermg99n6XWsGVQ Or http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SERVO-EXTENSION-LEAD-150MM-LONG-FITS-FUTABA-26AWG-/321898709110?hash=item4af2a88076:g:b6MAAOSwA4dWJoNB Otherwise you want servo connector ends + pins and a crimp tool which aren't too cheap. One of these type will give you 2 usable ends when cut. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Male-to-Male-Servo-Extension-Lead-Cable-Futaba-JR-Connectors-100mm-150mm-300mm-/281915869488?var=&hash=item41a37ec930:m:muFTn_ciiefEDlS4M1c88bQ If you want to go down the crimping tool and servo connector route for the future I've found this the best option for JST,futaba etc at the price. I've tried a few other cheap ones and the jaws are too wide even when stated for JST. The one below works well. http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/__46629__HobbyKing_JST_SH_Connector_Crimping_Tool_UK_Warehouse_.html & http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/__65799__JST_SH_Servo_Plug_Set_Futaba_Gold_Plated_10pairs_set_UK_Warehouse_.html Edited April 6, 2016 by dazp1976 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazp1976 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 In terms of fans etc I use one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yeah-Racing-Heat-Sink-Twin-Tornado-High-Speed-Fans-Set-1-8-Motor-Car-YA-0261BK-/381360060399?hash=item58cad4b7ef:g:594AAOSw3ydVyvp2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raff113 Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 Could a old bind plug be used if I cut the the loop and solder the other wires on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 no, bind plug doesn't use positive and negative wires... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you carefully lift the tab on the plug, take out one of the pins and move it to the middle to give you + -. Then you can deal with the cable.
