    Anyone making 8mm parallel adapters?

    In the past, I've made a "Y" with several inches of 8ga wire. But I'd like to make a block, for neatness and shorter length. Would appreciate seeing some examples.

    I?ve made a few by pinning together the three bullets with copper rod and soldering it all together. I insulated it with a moldable silicone putty that hardens but I forget the name. It came in different colors in small packs like ketchup.

          Is the silicone putty Sugru?

              Thanks, guys. Now I am leaning toward a "T" configuration. Wonder if "liquid electrical tape" would hold up to the heat.

                Thanks. Would have liked to see what's under the heatshrink.

                BTW, Tony, I still run the Hot Stuff crackerbox occasionally. Real crowd pleaser.

                  Ron, the harness was basically made with 12 guage wire and lots of soldering. Drop in the batteries for 4S 2P and go. Simple clean plug n' play -El Neato.

                  Glad you're still digging the cracker; my Jersey Skiff sits lonely and dusty.
