Castle 6.5mm Bullet Connectors Don't Fit

[Supreme Reign]

I bought the CC 6.5mm Bullet Connectors to a make a lead from my 1515 2200kv to my ESC with 4mm inputs. The males cannot enter the females no matter how hard I push. The male connectors on the motor cannot fit into the female connectors either. Pinching the motor's connectors didn't help, either. I'm 255LBS, so I'm no scrawny dude. All the male connectors are too big for the female connectors. I have lots of CC motors and ESC's with 4mm bullet connectors, and I've never encountered this problem. Is this normal with CC 6.5mm hardware?? I haven't soldered anything. This is fresh out of the package. I just test fitted, and it's a no go.

Amoss have you thought of swapping all connections with ''new'' ones from the same package?

That's just it, Will. The ones in the package in the package don't even fit each other. It looks about 1mm or so off. Pliers didn't help (I tried it on the motor plug). The male plug sits about 1mm or so inside the housing. The female plug is smaller than the male housing and the male plug, as well. There's no forcing them together.

You probably got a defective batch...castle makes a 5.5mm bullet connector as well...probably a mix up at the factory...

Yeah I have purchased sets of them that were either mismatched or machined improperly before. Just pick another pack up and you will be set.

Yep. These females are bigger than 4mm, but smaller than 6.5mm.

Pure foolishness from such a large company. This is why people put r/c's on the shelf and leave the hobby. My r/c budget is depleted and I have other hobbies and interests that I took funds from for these connectors and soldering tools.
