Hey Guys,

can anyone point me to the proper name for such a connector? Thank you

Looks like a motherboard P4 connector (4 pins). Depending on the motherboard, they sometimes snap together to fit into an 8-pin socket, but usually just one plugs into a 4-pin socket--the one with the differently-shaped white plug-ends, not the one with all the ends shaped the same.

I can't quite see in your image, but if they're 6-pin connectors, they're auxiliary power connectors for high-end video cards.

Actually Dennis, the 4-pin ATX extra connector isn't yellow/black, and can be optionally connected to the large ATX motherboard connector.

I should clarify that the 6-pin video card connectors are PCI-Express auxiliary power connectors.

Hey Guys,
Finishing up a runner goldpan rebuild. The car was last raced in 1990 or 1991 so I am putting it back into that configuration. Though I know hardwiring was popular, for practicality I am going to use battery connectors. Trying to decide...

Last post

Deans 4 pin. Red. I liked the low profile for motors. Always thought the voltage drop with good connectors wasn't enough to justify hard wiring the batt/motor. But wow did it look high-speed.

I have a Novak gtb2 esc.

It has a non standard connector on it I am trying to find 66F1D0FB-7201-4B38-86C3-0DF8AE337C83.jpeg

The larger connector is a standard connector.
The other connector is what the manual calls it a mini jst connector but...

Last post

the tekin hotwire sometimes comes with a small adapter that looks really close to this, I guess to connect to some of their esc's without disconnecting from the receiver:

it's cheap enough to give it a try.

that sure looks like the right thing....

Does anyone know this electrical connector? It came on a recently acquired RC10 Team car. There were two - one each on the NiCd battery-ESC connection, and also for the motor. I haven't seen it before. Metal surface area looks pretty substantial....

Last post

Yes, Race Prep. People used to trim the end so they could reverse polarity when used for motor connectors.

Thanks makes sense. In this case the guard is still on both connectors.

The orange were known for causing esc’s to go up in flames....

Those connectors look to be mostly weatherproof . I would maybe flood with MAFS or QD cleaner (CRC is the brand I'm familiar with). Like, upright and puddled then like folks are recommending, soft, long bristled brush. Quick, dump, fill, brush,...
