You'll be using soldered bullet connectors and heat shrink then.

Halfords and similar usually have a boxed collection of assorted connectors, cheaper if you buy a load of them together....

It isnt a bodge,it saves a bit of weight thus increasing the power to weight ratio.

That pack looks good, but a bit pricey.

Think a pack of Mini-connectors 2.8mm should do the job?

If you're buying a set get one with a ratchet crimper they're much better than the simple squeeze type, easier to use and do a much better job of fixing the terminal.

Twisted wire and wrigleys does a better job than those things.

Think I have used ALL the suggested methods over the years then a couple of years ago I discovered a terminal block that the two halves plugged into each other Really good, used it for my Halloween effects in the garden, to connect things to a control box
