What a load of waffling for such a simple job this chap loves his own voice.
Isn't Amass the original creator and sole manufacturer of true XT150 connectors? I'm pretty sure the ones sold at Hobby stores are from Amass themselves. Did you mean the crappy Amazon ones are from a different vendor/manufacturer besides Amass?
I'm confused. If you go to the HobbyKing website, it says that their XT150 are not cheap imitations. They are manufactured by AMASS.
The ones on Amazon are probably knockoffs claiming to be Amass. Amass is the original mfg of the good nylon body XT series connectors.
Should we be using any flux to help with the solder?
soldering these xt150s took a while and wasn’t the tidiest and I couldn’t use the both cases to connect the male and female so they share one case each. I’ve 3 phaze wire setup with one casing on each not 2. It helped to push bullets together easier. Will this be ok to do. Seems to run ok but im a little anxious. Ahah
Thanks for all the useful information. I bought some xt150 connectors to use between my motorcycle stator and rectifier. The stator produces 80V at 6.000rpm . You think these connectors will hold up? Thanks!
Probably
Great follow up to Vas' video!

Thanks
Heating up the XT150 (or anything else) takes much longer with a dry iron. You should always have thin layer of solder on it to transfer heat more effectively.
Hey there, I am making the switch to XT150, thanks again for the vid. I am having some difficulty though. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to make the connections. Here is how I'm thinking its done:
ESC: Female large red housing, Male skinny black housing
Batteries: Female skinny red housing, Male large black housing
Charger lead: Female large red housing, Male skinny black housing
If that's not it, I'm totally lost.
Thanks.

Yeah,
basically male and female with matching colors.
Lots of different ways, just stay consistent.
How do you connect yours up?
Claudio Moody
Same way the video shows.
Once you know the battery setup, you also know the esc and charge leads...
What heat do set on heating iron to solder xt 150 connectors
My iron goes to 480. I set it to highest. If you can go higher that's better.
I heat up the tinned connector 1st to get solder in molten state, then insert wire, then apply tip to wire.
I keep the connector vertical in my wood jig so the solder pools about half way, leaving room for wire and its tinned solder to occupy. Result is a full cup and solid connection
Guru Ji, AMASS is better than most of the other XT series Battery connectors.
When you said, there was a problem with the female XT150, the only problem is 1) soldering issue (cold solder) 2) the brass socket has no contact with the mating Male connector. This is the problem with (again) soldering issue) You need a soldering iron with a minimum 150W ~200W. You’ll need great amount of heat. It’s only a brass item....
Now, how’d you remove the Male or female plug and socket , once they have been pressed into the plastic holder? The only intelligent way to get the plug or socket out of the holder will be by snipping the cable very close to the XT150 socket with a sharp Cable cutter and press out the brass contacts by using a 30mm X4mm round steel pin to press the socket/plug outward. Once the pin/s slips out (you can feel it) you may use a pair of pincer to take out the item. There’s no other way you will be able to detach the Brass item. Good luck,
Great Video!! Well Informed and thorough!!
Thanks for the vid. I noticed XT150's can come in a blue color as well. What's the benefit of that?
They can be used for motors, or any other connection to mark a wire specifically.
Can be used for series connectors, adapters, additional wiring.
TechGuru4U Gotcha. Thank you. Thinking about switching over from XT90.
@@techguru4u862I'm using them for series connection of battery modules.
Great Vid!! Thanks for the info I was wondering why the ones from Amazon were such a pain. I feel your pain I too came to this awakening and you have confirmed it. Now I am going to throw away my non hobby king ones away.And order ones from hobby king. Who wouda thought that Hobby King would be the preferred brand of an item. Also love their XT90sI have 3 electric bikes and these XT150s are the way to go from controller to motor.

Yeah, I was surprised also, one of the very few things I have purchased from Hobby King..
Love the connectors. Simple, efficient power delivery..
amass brand is by far thee best. doesnt matter where u buy them.. on amazon there are alot of listings that have the word Amass in it but that doesnt mean its not a knock off.. i only buy my xt150's from Amazon but only from Amass. Amass does sell on Amazon. Sounds to me like u guys arent paying attention to what ur actually buying...
i'm new to the rc world. i'm interested in going with these connectors before i start buying batteries. how do you plug into a charger with these? do you need an adapter?
If it helps, I'm new too but bought a top of the line battery charger (SkyRC 400W) and it came with all the different connectors - xt60, xt90, and smaller ones. You'll find if you stay with it, you'll start building an inventory of parts. Then get on TH-cam to figure how to use them.
Did you put the male on the Battery? Isn't it suppose to be the female?
Thank You.
Been soldering all kinds of connectors, especially xt150s with my wood block jig, which is free and does not conduct or absorb heat.
Vas's video on the different connectors turned me on to them, but He didn't do as good a job with the actual soldering. Felt like he ripped me off since I posted this and sent him the link, then weeks later he posted his version of soldering xt150 connectors..
hmmmm...
@6:00 have you any dimensions i'e from a good set of Vernier Calipers?
reason i ask is i bought some xt150 connectors from a place called bang good (which is a chinese company)
drEmulatorMadmax
Got mine from Hobbyking...
I glue clothes pegs on top of a wood block and put steel 123 blocks in the middle. I prefer soldering sideways instead of upside down.
Are they anti spark?
No.
I bought the garbage ones from amazon too!!!!!
Also amass is the real brand. The ones on amazon are knock off amass.
I don't understand why the sleeves are installed by pulling on the wire. This seems improper even if it can be accomplished. All the safety instructional material I have ever seen advise to never pull wires, yet this is how the sleeves are installed? I'd imagine there had to be a tool made specifically for installing sleeves on connectors especially if done in mass production. So far I have not seen it though, which is surprising.
what connector is the best for 3s lipos
caspar jenk
Many can be used. I've used Deans, Traxxas, but I prefer these or xt90. These have been my favorites of late. switched almost all my connectors to xt150, makes swapping batteries easier when the same connectors are used on multiple vehicles...
Xt90 should be fine for 3s anything higher get these xt150:
You should never reheat solder or attempt to hold the wire by hand until it cools..
You got It all wrong. Amass is the only ones that are any good they are the original manufacturer of xt connectors. Next time get your facts straight before post a video with bad advice.
Sorry, but I had the actual connectors, I'm not wrong. If you like them use them, but based on my experience, I stand by what I said.
@@techguru4u862 You bought fake Amass XT150's, thinking Amass is fake. Amass is the real deal! They are a Chinese company btw. I've got real Amass and they are not orange. But thanks for sharing how to solder them! Have a great day!
Why is there a load of Blah blah blah bullshit talking? Just do it and show people how to solder. Waste of 24 minutes. And anyone who says, "yeah, but i learned something" have no idea of what they're doing. This guy just loves to talk talk talk and not do do do. Thank God I know how to solder for 25 years perfectly. I like to check other people's video's to see how much they bullshit people.
lol
You must be fun at parties.....
holy goofy ahh just solder stop talking
All I hear is blah, blah, blah. Holy crap, just do the job and stop talking nonsense. You may like to hear your own voice, but we hate it. Thank God this video is not a "How to" because it appears you don't know how to.
Long winded and boring - count the Ummmmms lol. We aren't kindergarten kids. And bythe way it's sol"D"er NOT sodder.

Thank you

Thanx Englush police
@@techguru4u862 I'm years late but I can say this video was very helpful for me. I prefer detailed videos. Also, US dictionaries show pronunciation as "sädər" so the way you say it is perfectly fine here in the States.

Glad it helped.
