MAKE BATTERY CONNECTOR ADAPTERS
If the Great Planes 4mm male to 3.5mm female bullet
connector adapters are not available, or you would like
to make your own, the assembly procedure and order
numbers for the individual parts are provided below.
o A. In order to make three adapters for one
complete brushless motor system, you will need
Great Planes Gold Plated Bullet Connectors Female
3.5mm (GPMM3113), Great Planes Gold Plated Bullet
Connectors Male 4mm (GPMM3114), electrical solder
with flux, and a soldering iron.
o B. Insert the 3.5mm female bullet connector (the end
with the cutout on the side) into the open end of the 4mm
male bullet connector. Shown in the photo above is the
X-Acto
® Extra Hands Double Clip (XACR4214). This tool
is extremely useful for small soldering tasks.
o C. With the female bullet in the open end of the male
bullet and the cutouts in both connectors lined up, apply
solder with flux into the cutouts. When applying the solder,
it should appear to flow into the joint and around the ends
of the connectors until the joint is coated. Excess solder
is not necessary as it will simply gather at the bottom of
the joint. Use alcohol to wipe the joint clean.
o 5. Mount the motor to the motor mount using four 3 x 15
mm [5/8"] machine screws, 3mm flat washers, and four 3mm
lock washers. Be sure to use thread locker on the machine
screw threads.
o 6. Connect the motor to the ESC using 4mm Male to
3.5mm Female Bullet Connector Adapters (GPMM3123).
Using some double sided foam tape, mount the ESC to the
side of the motor mount, as shown. Attach a 6" [152mm]
long servo extension to the ESC, and secure it using some
3/8" [9.5mm] heat shrink tubing or electrical tape.
