12s series harness for 700

[ssschmidt4]

Hello all,

I am prepairing to build my first 700 electric heli. Do most of you buy a harness to hook batteries up in series or do you make your own! Do the premade ones from progressive rc work fine as far as size of harness and ease of hooking up nicely? Thanks!

Always made my own so you can get the lengths of wire exactly as you want them when i had the two 6s batteries separate. Now i just build them as a stick pack to save wire length

How about this?



Find it on the Align Trex store or on eBay

A-Main has them too:

Thanks, but I use Ec5's. I bought one from Progressive Rc and will see how it works! If I don't like it, I will build my own!

Not really knocking the Progressive series harness, but I ordered either two or three a while back, and when they came in, I couldn't use them as the male pin's female connectors were flush with the opening and could have allowed reverse polarity. I called progressive and they said to return them, but I ended up not doing that, and just made my own.

Well if you have too, there's that 'ol extension cord out back and some wire nuts in three drawer.....
Ain't uncles the $#!+$

I recieved my harness today. Looks to be built correctly and everything is seated properly inside the Ec5 connectors! Should work great!
