I just had a look at the AS150 because I wanted to do an AS version of this:
which is just two bullet connectors right now.
The AS150 is massive though (7mm diameter apparently) and I was wondering if one could simply remove the plugs from the XT90 case and still have them functioning the way they should and get a smaller version of the same thing. I’d obviously put shrinkwrap around just like with the bullets you see above but i have not seen how the AS function is connected inside the XT90S and maybe some of you have.
Not sure if this will work as I am pretty sure the bullet with the limiting resistor in it isn’t one solid bullet but 2 half length ones, can’t say for certain though and I don’t have any to dissect
that’s what I thought. But maybe they are glued together or something, so that once you put shrinkwrap around them they hold fine? I don’t know and haven’t found any pictures of the thing open to see inside.
That just gave me an idea, what about a fraken-bullet, just get a normal female bullet and cut it in half, then glue the two pieces into a tube and connect the two pieces with a small resistor
It’s not just about looks but i’d be scared to break the resistor off when there is no rigid plastic around it holding it in place. that solder joint seems rather flimsy.
