gearbox problem

ok, so i just received my new gearbox in the male. im almost finished switching it out with my old gearbox, buuuutttt the fuse/battery wires will not connect as my new gearbox has two female connectors. while the wiring has only a male and a female connector... what do i do? here is a pic of my problem.



so what do i do? help me! ToT

I suggest you either take the wiring from your old gearbox and switching them or buying new wiring.

crop the extra female...solder a new male and heat shrink. And you can use the male connector from the other gearbox. OR you can replace that connection all together with a different m/f pair connector...just getting the gearbox out will be a bear.

i don't have anything to solder it together though... is there any other way? i don't want to open the gearbox to replace the wiring...

You don't need to take anything apart, just cut one of the extra female wires close to the connector and replace that connector with a male one from your old gearbox. Invest in a soldering iron. They're cheap and useful.

No you NEED a soldering iron for this job...and for just about any job that involves wiring / rewiring your AEG.

roger that. then i will have to invest in one i suppose. thanks for the help guys. you are always reliable

Are you gonna use a fuse in it?
Tell me you are!
Last time I went to pendelton a kids ak blew up in his face!
GUESS WHAT NO FUSE

ummm i already have a fuse in there. unless the fuse is burned out it should work perfectly fine.

Ok I misread your post, never mind.

I would replace it with one of a higer voltage rating....just an idea.

If you don't have anyshrink wrap, some LIQUID electrical tape should work.

so when i solder it together should i put some electrical tape over the soldering point?

To do it properly, you need shrink tubing. which is pretty cheap.

ah ok, i have a question, the wire from the old gearbox is a much smaller gauge then then then batter/fuse wires. will this present a problem when soldering it together?

UPDATE! i fixed it! i soldered it together. but ran into some problems with my motor ( i lost the small metal disk for the motor, but replaced it with something of the same size)
now its shooting again. im so happy! im so excited! i love myself! haha
