I have a little problem
my servo wire is to short and there is nowhere I can get any at all
ive tried getting junk from the thrift store here but all the wire I find is way to thin
I can buy what I need from the site here for 1$ but it will cost 45$ for shipping
lol
there is a hobby shop in the next town over but that will cost 250$ for the trip there lol
I have waisted over 20 on junk from the dollar store on headphones and other junk that looks like its thick enuff but when I strip it its like one strand of hair ...... that's when I can strip it lol
HELP lol
I need it to get scraps blade to work the pics looked ALOT better on the cam lol
All you need is servo extensions correct? there are tons of ads on ebay for servo extensions. I got 20 for $6!
I never buy from ebay as every time I tried to I got ripped off big time I never got what I paid for
@Wolfie ..I suggest going to a thrift store and checking out their electronics section. Often there will be tons of various gauge wires and other cool stuff to raid!
@Wolfie email me your mailing address. I think I have some servo extension wires I can send you. If I don't have any, I am going to the hobby shop Tuesday after work and will pick some up. No charge to you, just one maker to another.

@irobot58 I go to the thrift store every day its open but I live in a really small town and there is never much there at all other than clothing and that's vary limated to
im hoping to be moving back to the last town I was in there the thrift stores are good and a new hobby shop opened there .... wish it would not cost 250 for a day trip there lol
A good source of wires are in telephone cables. You can ask your local telephone repair man if he has a short length of spare wire. Mine had no problem giving me 4 feet. It will have many connections inside of it, maybe 25-30 copper wires. You can hook each of those wires and the servo wires to a terminal strip.
@Moviemaker, Good suggestion. I have a 25 foot coil of 25 pair telephone wire (and a few smaller cables as well). You do need to be careful to use them in areas that don't get a lot of movement. It is fairly stiff solid wire and will fail due to metal fatigue if bent back and forth a lot.
