4mm bullet connectors like any other vesc + most of our motors would be nice to have on by default
I disagree. Would much prefer bare wires. Allows end user to add any connector they like without needing to fuck around desoldering.
Good plan Jeff
but desoldering is easy, and cutting even more so
This way it is plug and play for those who canât solder their own connectors.
You really should be able to solder a connectorâŚmaybe an option for just the PCB with parts on and you solder your own wires and connectors of choice for say $5 less
As long as the option is there. If you donât already own the connectors, just finding them somewhere online + shipping is already 5$. An hour of soldering for 6 of them, depending on how you value your time, also is a lot of money.
There are people trying to build esk8s that donât know how to solder!?
well, for bullet connectors you need a powerful soldering iron. I can imagine some kids donât have that.
Itâs voodoo science.
My tip starts to oxidize quicklyâŚ
Wet rag.
I wipe it every time before tinning something. It just works.
wut? I got a cheap 17⏠30w Soldering iron. Well, dunno how âpowerfulâ 30w are in that space.
haha, Iâm glad you didnât see when someone shipped a connector to someone that would solder it.
you woulda lost your shit, lol
This %
20⏠for a 60W with a temp control.
With how big the whole community is, I am sure someone would volunteer to do this 5min job.
I even bet old Bob down the road would do it if you got him a beer (@glyphiks can confirm)
Anyway this would save some on the vesc and
for the manufacturing and
for Jeff
Can confirm. Will solder for beer.
Letâs just settle this with a poll
- I would benefit from presoldered bullet connectors
- I will solder my own connectors, but donât mind the default ones there and a ~3$ price increase
- I will solder my own connectors, and want to save those 3$ / makes my life easier to not have them in the first place

Update 2:
Seems like currently 69% of people would be fine with pre-soldered connectors, but since 71% will be resoldering anyway, seems like thereâs not much point. However, more people would love it than hate it, so itâs definitely worth having an option for it.
Second bare wires i may use mr60 anyway but 90% chance the wires will be too long or short for enclosure so i will have to redo them.
lol when i said
I knew well we were talking about very little cost lol. But people use all types of connectors so unless a majority uses bullet 4mm then i think we should leave them blank
hence your poll we shall see
Would be cool to have a multi-option poll to see what people use. Personally I only use 5.5mm bullets because theyâre the easiest to solder, and all my motors came with them, but I do see the appeal of other types.
