RCPROPLUS S7 "Solderless" Supra X Battery Connector (4 Sets)

RCproplus SOLDERLESS connector tips.
These are my tips that work for me and have not necessarily been approved by the manufacturer.

The instructions on my bullet package says they are for 8-10 awg applications. The wires that I have on my esc and lipos are both 10 awg. For me the bullets work fine with the longer set screws that come with the bullets(older packages may come with shorter set screws). So if you have the longer 4-5mm set screws you should be fine with 10 awg with no modification.

However, If you want more security when using the 10 awg or smaller guage you can fold the wire back on itself to create a larger gauge to insert into bullet, thus when you insert the set screws it creates more mechanical pressure against bullet. As you tighten both set screws, it pushes the wire on each side against the inside of bullet surface. Also since the inside surface is threaded, it will result in greater security from pulling out.

Also you will note that there are two set screws to be used in each bullet, one should be flat and the other with a pointed end.

To prevent the set screws from loosening, I create a slight burr on the threads of both set screws so that they won’t unscrew by themselves(don’t over do this by creating too big of a burr!). The reason I do this instead of using loctite is due to the fact that I want the set screw to be conductive, and using loctite on threads could be an insulator. I want as much conductivity as possible and that means wire to set screw to bullet.

After having used the DC5 solderless on my 6S setups (2 helis and 8 batteries) it was a natural progression to convert my EC5's to the SupraX S7...I bought 2 packs of the solderless and 1 that you solder that I would use for the charge leads...
after having made my charge leads I started covering my 6 12S packs but I hit a massive hurdle when 7 of the grub screws would not allow the hex driver to fit into it, very annoying but I was able to get around it as there was spare from connectors I did not use that I was going to keep for spares..What was more annoying there were 3 of the black male housing that are not properly made (not fully formed if you know anything about injection moulding) causing the housing to not only crack but out of tolerance so screwing the cable retention clamp on was a challenge.
I emailed RCPROPLUS directly asking them to replace the connectors only to have them tell me they will only send 6 new grub screws..I asked in another email with photos what about the connectors that are unusable...

Anyways bottom line these connectors are amazing but if they are defective good luck trying to get replacements or dealing with the company as I feel like I have done something wrong by telling them there product quality needs to be looked at

First, in regards to the (currently) only other review, he mentions about him choosing to not use Loctite, as it might act as an "insulator". Feel free to use Loctite, but only use a very minimal amount, and only on the threads of the grub screws (ie. NOT on the ends). Yes, blue Loctite does act as an insulator, but, as long as you're using as minimal amount as possible, it's not going to increase resistance all that much. Besides, when putting these connectors together, the grub screws should NOT be the primary electrical connection between the wire & bullet...the wire should be pressed as much against the inside of the bullet as possible - THAT'S your primary electrical connection. The grub screws are primarily for holding the wire in place.

Now that that has been said, in regards to the connectors, themselves, these are outstanding. I started off with one package, and not for connecting ESCs & batteries. I actually got it for use in a boat, for connecting the ESC & motor, as I figured this would not only make swapping motors extremely easy, but the connectors are reusable. On the motor, I installed 2 female & 1 male, with 1 female & 2 male in the ESC. This way, if the motor is spinning the wrong direction, simply switching any 2 of the 3 (ie. the 2 female on the motor) will reverse the motor's direction.

In my thinking, I figured, if these can prove to be great for connecting a boat's motor & ESC, they'll be even better for connecting batteries to ESCs...and...they ARE fantastic for connecting the motor & ESC. I'm already ordering more, as these will now be my "go-to" for boats...and, quite possibly, for other vehicles, as well.
