OK
I am not good at soldering and hate it. I buy the Spektrum IC5 although they cost more it is easier for me to have the ends in the holder and the half cup to solder the wire to. Last I just slide the cap over it and done.
The blue EC5 connectors are cheap and I can get a lot more for the money but I am challenged with those soldering in the bowl-like cup of the connector...I'm messy and never cleanly done. Last, I have to hammer them into the blue housing. Sorry just not easy for me compared to the IC5 (not adding the smart wire to any)
Then I found these for sale...they are already in the blue housing and have the half cup-like connector like the IC5. What they do not say or I do not understand is how I hide or protect the wire at the soldered connection.
Do I use heat shrink? Is that good enough for bashing it not in the housing? Normal blue connection the wire end in hammered down in the harness and soldered connection not see. Not in this case...?
