Martin Harris - Moderator Posted December 21, 2024 Share Posted December 21, 2024 I would cut them off and join the wires with a dab of solder… 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2.4g Shaun Posted December 21, 2024 Share Posted December 21, 2024 (edited) Micron used to stock them from memory. The motor looks like an AP ** variant. www.micronradiocontrol.co.uk Alternatively as mentioned solder direct (once motor direction is established) or use a servo plug and socket instead. It can easily carry the current for that motor. Edited December 21, 2024 by 2.4g Shaun Typo 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin McIntosh Posted December 22, 2024 Share Posted December 22, 2024 Looks like a Parkzone one which I was recently after. Blew up the Rx when trying to codge it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyB Posted December 22, 2024 Share Posted December 22, 2024 Just cut am off and solder on some small bullet style connectors or solder directly to the esc once motor direction is determined. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepeiro Posted December 22, 2024 Author Share Posted December 22, 2024 (edited) The receiver I got has the connectors presoldered on and personally I hate soldering straight onto rx think I have early soldering career ptsd rom a few micro receivers melting under my inexpert hands dont get me wrong I will do it but if I don’t have too… Edited December 22, 2024 by shepeiro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted December 22, 2024 Share Posted December 22, 2024 You wouldn't be soldering the motor leads to the receiver. You'd be soldering the motor leads to the motor wires coming from the ESC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RottenRow Posted December 22, 2024 Share Posted December 22, 2024 If it’s an indoor ‘all in one’ receiver the ESC will be built into it. And there will be an on-board female connector for the motor connector (that he doesn’t have) to plug into. I quite understand him not wanting to solder directly onto the pcb if he feels that his soldering skills aren’t up to it. Brian. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepeiro Posted December 22, 2024 Author Share Posted December 22, 2024 (edited) Yeap it has a built in 1s esc I like making planes that are light enough to bounce. Edited December 22, 2024 by shepeiro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 Apologies, I hadn't considered that you might be using a combined unit. Hope that you are able to find a suitable connector and be back in business. Given the plethora of different microconnectors then soldering really is a vital skill to master.

Piers Bowlan Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 If you do find a matching female connector to plug into your motor, you will still have to solder it to the pcb of your Rx. The key to painless soldering, in my view, is 1) make sure wires, pcb and your iron is clean 2) buy a quality iron of the correct size and wattage 3) use leaded pre-fluxed fine solder wire 4) practice a bit to get your hand in 5) with a hot iron solder quickly. 6) is 1) again… check everything is clean! My 2p worth. Good luck 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyGnome Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 Could always gently separate the individual plastic pieces on the motor wires........ maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RottenRow Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 I think the confusion here is that he doesn’t have the motor connector. The photo in his opening posting is a generic one, to show the type of connector that he wants. If he finds the correct male (motor) connector then he has no need to solder anything to the receiver pcb as that already has a female socket on it. Soldering the receiver would invalidate any warranty that might have come with it. Hopefully the Micron connector will turn out to be the correct one.

FlyinFlynn Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 Can't really tell from the blurry photo of the motor but you might want to check if the motor wires you have on your motor are already tinned. The motor wires might just be tails of the enamelled copper wires used in the windings so will require carefully scraping or sanding to get the enamelling off the wires before tinning........ unless they are already tinned.

shepeiro Posted December 23, 2024 Author Share Posted December 23, 2024 RottenRow is bang on I have a rx with the female connectors pre-soldered on. Sorry photo was best I could find for what look like the male connector. leccy Yes your right soldering is definitely something my that I need to improve and have done significantly since o got some leaded solder. But still not keen on practising on an rx IF I don’t have to. piers. All good advice and yes worth finding that leaded solder. I have to it “clicked” when I did that. Learning on the unleaded stuff is a bit of nightmare. Melts too hot cools way too fast. 2 out of 5 burnt out micro rx’s later I figured that bit out… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cripps Posted December 23, 2024 Share Posted December 23, 2024 Might help if you tell us which receiver you've got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shepeiro Posted December 23, 2024 Author Share Posted December 23, 2024 Thank you everyone I think I’m sorted now for the connector from micron. though wasn’t sure if micron send to uk without issue? Thanks for the offer Martin think I’m ok for leaded solder for a good while as have a reel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
