High quality tamiya connectors...Do they exist?

I need to replace the battery connector on a old timer based nicad charger.
Are there any higher quality, easier to attach Tamiya connectors?

Or is this the best option?

Re: Chris VanAir 2016 inspired build

Very cool build! That's an awesome paint job too! I had to be patient but Jeremy from Off The Grid Designs was the one who painted this up. It’s amazing how much better it looks in person. It’s such an amazing look with lots of semi translucent metal flake. He took the time today to cut and mount i...

Re: shock setups for dirt tracks

Well, most people on here probably don't know what Track you are talking about :wink: Your location in your profile or mentioning where the track is located might help. Can't help if you are talking about Hot Rod Hobbies in Santa Clarita, CA. It is the Hotrod in Santa Clarita, but they also just re...

Re: Project RC10 graphite…team car?

That car looks to be in great shape. Be sure to re-hydrate the nylon parts before trying to drive it. A lot of durability is lost when the parts dry out over time. As far as giving it to a kid to bash around that may not be a great candidate depending on your kid and where you are running. A truck i...
