Male 4mm corally style plug help !!!

[Steven Forster]

Ive just received some 8 of these male 4mm corally style plugs like this in the link.........

http://www.modelsport.co.uk/etronix-4.0mm-male-gold-connector-2-/rc-car-products/366366

Problem is that when they've come the hole in the side is a lot smaller than in the pic so can't fit my 12 awg power wires into them........has anybody tried drilling the hole before to make it bigger and did it work ???

If not any links for the right one's please !!!

cheers :)

You can drill them out or cut the sides of the hole to a V to get the wires to fit.

Just cut the top of the hole out to a V with wire cutters and lay in solder in the wire. it's very simple.

Thanks for the reply.........ive just double checked and realised that i need the low profile plugs instead as the one's i have wont fit under the SX3 rear top deck and also stop the bodyshell from sitting properly :blush:

So now looking for the low profile 4mm plugs instead please :D

Cheers
