Tamiya connector change and no fuse box.

Thebrick534 · July 27th, 2011, 11:54

Hey there guys, I was wondering if it's possible to take a large Tamiya connector off and replace it with a small one because at the moment i have a PEQ box that only fits small types but my gun used to use large types so i have to use a connector which makes the wires just hang there and take away the look of the gun. Also it has a fuse box which adds a bit of length and i was wondering how i would go about removing that so it's just wires instead of fuse box's so i will only have about 2 or 3 cm of wire showing when the battery is plugged in.

If you're going to change it anyway, change both to deans. MUCH better.

Wire cutter/stripper, soldering iron and shrink tube. Do a search either here or via Google. There are basic soldering/wiring videos out there. Effectively soldering the wires from your old harness to wires on your new connector.

Alternate method would involve a crimper instead of a soldering iron. I prefer to solder, though - it's sturdier.

Two Deans connectors plugged into each other occupy about the same amount of space as one half of a small tamiya connector. Regarding the fusebox, you can snap the two fuse holder contacts together and either heatshrink or tape to cover up. At least that way if you want to put the fusebox back in, the contacts are still there.
