Motor Lead Repair

[Shootin Aces]

Hi all! 

 

After recently giving my XM177 a gloss coat on the furniture, I thought all was well until the motor lead decided to bail on me, does anyone know of anyone or any good sites that can repair it?

 

I'm sure it's an easy fix as I know this is a common problem, but I'm not going to chance breaking it more

It is an easy fix but I know what you mean.

 

If its any help Halfrauds will sell the crimps and heatshrink Looks like the neg lead is OK so you are half way there 👍

Them feels. The bend that we have to put in them does tend to weaken them.

 

They're 2.8mm spade connectors if you need to ask or order.  I'd avoid "fully insulated" ones as they tend to have a hard sleeve that you'll have to remove anyway and replace with heatshrink.

A drop of solder in the bend can help with that.
