if you use the proper tools I agree. The problem with soldering fine wire
is caused by the fact that the solder wicks into the wire. It creates a hard
spot in the wire. The wire flexes at this point and usually breaks. A
properly crimped connection is actually very reliable and the insulation acts as
a strain relief. Again, this only works if you use the proper tools and
techniques. I use a MAC tools TCT1028 for larger wires. I'm not sure what you
should use on the smaller gauge servo wires.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN

<DIV><BR></DIV>Servo city sells the pins and the connectors for 75 cents to
like 2 bucks depending on which ones you want. The crimpers will probably
cost you 25 bucks. they are a w crimp. you do not want to use regular
crimpers. After you crimp them you will want to solder also. use the
smallest diameter solder you can find. you just need a tiny tiny amount. you
won't be able to use heat shrink due to the heat shrink not fitting in the
connector.<BR><BR><B><I>paul <paul.horan@sbcglobal.net></I></B> wrote:

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I have not pulled the
servos apart to check the gears. The reason I think they are ok is
that when the plane went in the engine was dead, the speed was fairly low,
the the smaller branches of the tree furthe! r reduced the speed and
finally the plane hit a fork that cleanly stripped the wings away.
The servos, ailerons, linkage all looked good. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The soldering trick works fine, as long as
you don't get a cold joint. I try to avoid it only because the
area near where the solder stops wicking into the wire tends to be a
point of stress concentration for the wire strands, but as long as you
extend the heat shrink about 1/4" past the point where the wire gets
'bendy' again, it supports it and prevents the work hardening of the
wire from becoming a problem. I might be a bit nervous about those
servos though - how do the gears look? I've had incidents where
just a tiny sliver of a gear tooth was chipped away and lead to further
problems.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Sounds like I can
either get the kit and crimper from Maxx or cut the connector ends off
defunct servos / extentions and solder them to the existing servo
wires - using heat shrink to keep any flexing away from the solder
joints. Any preference ?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Paul:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Better off to replace the entire
connector and pins. Most likely the plastic housing was
damaged from the pin pulling out. Also, the! wire had to get
strained where it is clasped by the crimp pins. Maxx Products
sells connector kits, but you need a crimper tool.
