Fixing servo leads?

[slick2500]

Has anyone tried to fix the lead on their servo before? One of the pins came out of the connector and somehow can messed up enough that it won't stay in. Or does anyone know where I can buy a new connector and pins?
I can post a picture later if it will help.

@slick2500 what you need is a servo crimping tool.

That is perfect, wasn't even sure they made anything like that. Thanks dude.

I had a pin come out of a balance plug on one of my SMC packs. I CA glued it today for the quick fix because the pin wasn't grabbing inside of the terminal.
I would prefer to not buy an additional tool but watching here for a fix.

Looks like you need these along with the crimpers http://www.hansenhobbies.com/products/connectors/250mm_X57/250mm_X57_ft/
They also have new balance connectors too.

Now I have to decide if it's worth paying $15 to fix a $13 servo.

If it was me I would cut up one of the many servo extension wires I have lying around (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10P...For-RC-Futaba-JR-Male-Female/32862344797.html), open up the servo and solder it into place. Cheap and done in 5 minutes.

I'd thought about that too but I am going to buy one. I also have two batteries that need new balance plugs that I can do with this tool and I can make my own BEC bypass adapters as well as cleaning up a lot of excessively long wires that are currently just stuffed into the receiver boxes. I'll definitely get its money back just in bypass adapters instead of buying them for $6 a piece.

You know good point, I have some of my minis that have super duper long esc wires that should be shortened.
