View Full Version : Help! Where to buy light weight, sub-micro servo leads?

Hi,
Where can I buy 2 dozen of the ultra light weight servo leads like the ones used on Dymond 4.7, GWS Pico or other sub-micro servos? I'd prefer to buy them assembled with 'universal' plugs, but I could probably get by with just 20' of the super thin wire and attach the connectors myself as a last resort. I already have the 'standard' Hitec style wire, but I need something lighter for my (growing) collection of sub-micro servos that need new leads.

Thanks in advance,
Matt

All I do is get some thin wire, cut the servo leads in half and extend the wires with shrink wrapped joins. I tried making up servo plugs, but it was a terrible business.

Vintage1, yeah, that is why I would like to acquire the precise little leads so I can solder them directly to the board, essentially making it a new servo again. I'm not fond of 'cut and splice' if I can help it, and IF I can find the proper leads I'll go that route.

(I buy the extensions and cut of the end I don't want)
