Acorn Racing has released this servo extension and protector, which is a solution to servo wire connectors coming loose. They came up with a simple design that is a small, light, easy, effective and hassle free way to secure the connection of servo wire connectors that in turn can be mounted anywhere with a small piece of mounting tape. This protector allows the insertion of connectors only when the male adaptor is fully inserted into the female. No binding or crimping of the servo wire is needed and the connectors will not come loose when fitted into this housing. A specially made 80mm servo extension is included.
