General Sport Cub S Motor

Does anyone know what the little connector is on a umx sport cub motor called? Also is the anywhere a person could but just the connector? Thanks.

They always reminded me of the Deans Non Polarized Micro Connector. But I'm not sure if the spacing is right or not. I did try finding the plug you are talking about through horizon, and although I'm sure it's in there somewhere, I could not find it. But if the spacing on the deans is the same, that would be a better alternative anyway.

They are way smaller than small Deans, I have never seen them for sale.
I would look at making my own or buying a new motor they are only about $10.

Hey Keith, thanks for that pic. I don't have any micro Deans laying around so could not compare then to the blade plugs. So this takes us to, you are going to need to order a new motor in order to get that plug, territory. Now I know to take those plugs off and save them when these little motors go bad lol.

I manufactured one a long time ago. I straightened out paper staples and set them in a drop of Araldite, it worked OK.

Good idea. I bought some motors from micro motor warehouse, but they do not come with connectors.
