Mr Monkey Nuts Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 I keep consistently breaking spade connection for the motor on my v2. The best solution is to solder the wires direct to the motor, but makes it difficultly to tinker, so what other options are there? There has to be an alternative?

Supporters Samurai Posted February 12, 2016 Supporters Posted February 12, 2016 G&P motors have a thread in the connector where you can screw the wire on.
cyrexx Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 I've seen someone mod motor endbell to accept Bullet connector. Personally I just stick to soldering as one of the issues with Spade connectors is they are not really designed to handle large currents.

Supporters Sitting Duck Posted February 12, 2016 Supporters Posted February 12, 2016 it is a good idea that G&P implement.... until you want to swap out a m120 motor for something better on v3's with motor cage I could solder if I wanted 101% contact but tbh on v3's with cage/frame the connectors are straight so don't break so much On v2's with pistol grip cramming it all in there it becomes an issue Anyway - there are a number of options available its your gun - use what you feel best
