Not necessary as you can solder or crimp with other pliers but the
right crimper makes the job much easier. I just recently started
making my own servo extensions or shortening servo wires on other
projects. (check out the Gaui 200 heli for a small aerobatic heli. Not
even enough room for excess servo wires.) I am amazed at how easy it
is to do with the right tool. So consider a crimper that can do both.
I have one of the ratcheting styles. Cost was $35. To do the servo
connectors properly you need one with 2 different height surfaces in
the clamping area. <br>
Believe it or not, properly crimped connectors are better than soldered
connectors.<br>
<br>
A nice way to remove that last gram :) <br>

agree on the RIGrunner. I have the small one and converted all of <br>
my plugs to powerpoles. I have it so that I can easily either use my <br>
Iota power supply to run two TP chargers or flip it over to be run from
<br>
a 12 volt battery at the field. Much better that alligator clips <br>
attached to metal bars coming out from the Iota. I did that initially <br>
as well.<br>

two or three wires containing the connector of your choice to each one

parallell connections to the source. The 6 or 8 gauge ground stcok will
