Been trying to buy non-RC car parts (silicone hoses, stainless/aluminum pipe etc) and they say they're in stock on eBay, then they say they haven't got them and refund you. Then you buy from someone else on eBay and the SAME BLOODY PERSON emails/calls you to say they're out of stock. So annoying. They shouldn't be allowed multiple ebay accounts.

These have being used RCs. I sent an offer, they accept and I pay. Few days later I get refunded. First guy told me he didnt expect eBay fee’s to be so much so cancelled. Second one didnt say a word, then a day later I get “Sorry I cannot sell you this for unforseen circumstances”? I dont want to leave negative feedback as I dont want them to do the same, as I have 100% since 2003. Wouldnt mind but its two RCs (that I admitedly shouldnt be buying as have no use for them) that I cannot buy new. A Traxxas T Maxx 3.3 (discontinued) and a Traxxas Rally Snap On Edition (that I cant buy the Snap On Version as they dont sell them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminals: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07SPJBL9W Crimp tool: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0969PRT2F There’s definitely a knack to it. I used to crimp a lot of terminals like this when I was a teenager working in an electronics factory, but I forgot how fiddly it can be until I got the hang of it again. The crimp tools we used to use in the factory cost over £100, so these were a bargain for £15! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCake Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Silly question but with this style, do you crimp the wire into the terminal and then just push into into the connector or does this crimp the block itself? I have only ever crimped spade terminals which are hard to mess up so and these look fiddly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGinge Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 You crimp the terminal onto the end of the wire then just push it into the housing where it latches in place. They are a little more fiddly to do well than things like a spade terminal but that’s almost entirely down to them being a lot smaller. Some of the ones I’ve used at work before are so small I’ve had to pick them up and out them in the crimp tool with a pair of tweezers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only ever crimped spade terminals which are hard to mess up so and these look fiddly. yep, what @BigGinge said. They're fiddly because of the size and you’ve never got enough fingers and the fingers you do have are too big 😂😂 Also they’re tight to push into the terminal block, you need a tiny pokey thing. My smallest screwdriver was only just small enough, but was still a bit “fat” - you have to push them all the way to the bottom so you need to fit your poker and the wire in a 2mm hole. It’s easier on thinner wires. Also, like all these things, practice helps a lot. I used to assemble electronics in a factory and did 100s of these types of crimps a week, and could smash through them no problem. Ten years later I’ve lost the knack for it, but did a serviceable job of it after a couple of practice crimps 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borked Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Or I should say they “can” be tight to push in. If you get decent quality terminals and blocks and crimp tool then they’ll often just pop in, but if you’re using the cheaper stuff I’ve got then there can be a bit of resistance pushing the crimp into the block 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
