Matt Carlton Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Bought these the other day, arrived the next day. £5.99 with free postage for 10 off 12" leads. Very nice quality, packaged in a nice protective resealable bag. Futaba plug/sockets but easy enough to snip the tab off for a JR/Hitec rx socket.

paul devereux Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) Back in stock and slightly cheaper. Edited January 14, 2023 by paul devereux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Sadly they are slightly more expensive once you add the postage - which was free in the original post. Still a decent price though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Cooke Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 what is the quality of the plugs like? I've been striggling to find futaba extension leads with quality plugs for a while, the fit is either too tight or too sloppy for confidence.

leccyflyer Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 That's been my experience too Phil. I made the mistake of bulk buying some JR extension leads from eBay a while back, to make up a worthwhile order, given the postage, rather than just the particular prop that I was struggling to find. Never again. They were very inexpensive, but the slightest tug on the cable pulled the wire out of the poorly crimped plugs. All 10 went straight in the bin and when I actually needed some extension leads I just stayed with a known brand from Webbies. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Bastow Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I ordered a pack of these on Thursday with free postage as it was my first order from Amazon. They arrived Friday and on first inspection the quality looks good. I will post again when I have trial fitted them in my Whirlwind build.

Cliff Bastow Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I have just done a quick test on various servos I have and they seem fine, nice firm connection but not so much that they are too hard to disconnect. I put the plug of one of them in the vice and gave the cables a firm pull and the crimped connections were fine, no tendency to pull away with quite a firm steady pull. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff, just be careful you haven't inadvertently signed up for prime, they are know to be somewhat sneaky like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) You can cancel Prime after ordering and not pay anything for it ( just paying for the goods )- but I think they still let you benefit from free postage for the remaining month! Uncancelled Prime becomes expensive if it's of no use to you. Edited January 16, 2023 by kc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Harris - Moderator Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 It’s not happened for a few years but both my mother and my wife inadvertently signed up for Prime. After complaining to them, they refunded the unused months without argument. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Stephenson Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 This is why I don't use Amazon any more. They made it very difficult to quit out of prime and claim a refund. I had to watch a youtube vid to work out how to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lee Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) That might of been the case but it is very straightforward now. The following are their instructions, I've removed the hyperlinks as they appeared to be linked to my own account in the 'Copy & Paste', but they are readily found under 'Your Account' on Amazon. I've had Prime for quite a few years & for the moment find it is worth the cost. To cancel your Prime membership, click here or you can follow the easy steps below: Go to Manage your Prime Membership. Click Manage Membership located at the top of the page, and then End membership and benefits In the cancellation page, you can click End my benefits or Continue to cancel. Paid members who haven't used their Amazon Prime benefits, including One-Day Delivery, Prime Video, Music Prime and the Kindle Owners' Lending Library will be eligible for a full refund. Paid members who have used their Amazon Prime benefits may be eligible for a partial refund based on use.

Talk about round and round the maypole..... it also makes a difference if you are logged onto a foreign Amazon site - I used Amazon.fr once and was 'enlisted' but it didn't show up on Amazon.co.uk.....sneaky B*****ds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lee Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Things have moved on at Amazon. Last year the EU Commissioner made the firm implement a much easier Prime cancellation process which is also used in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban8 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I signed up to Prime a couple of years ago and although It's gone up a bit, the amount of time and money on petrol and parking we save rather than messing about searching for household stuff in shops easily pays for itself. Depends on your circumstances and whether you enjoy traipsing around shopping centres - I loathe it! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john davidson 1 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 It is their business ethics I don't like, so I use them as little as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Bastow Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Thanks for the warning Flying Squirel, I have checked and it looks like I have not signed up for prime. Many thanks.
