Hi Gents I have all the bits to make my own servo leads as I need to make one with a male tamiya end to a servo end should I soulder them in and is there a special tool (pliers) to to close the pins round the wires sorry if I sound thick but never done it before, made them that is.
                            Regards Howard.

There is a special tool for both the Tamiya pins and the servo pins, I think Component shop sells them. I personally would not solder the servo pins as you could make the outside diameter of the pins too large and they would not fit in the cover then

Curious about the use of a two pin to three pin lead
with the aforementioned plugs.
Component shop will probably have what you want lead wise
without buying insertion and crimping tools for Tamiya and Futaba plugs

ThanksTo you both, Ned its to make a power lead from a  4,8 volt sub C pack which had a tamiya female plug on it from component shop which is for a 1,72 slipway puffer so power gos to rx and powers everything.

Hi Howard
Easiest way is to get a lead from Comp Shop.

If the exact lead is not available, the most certain way of getting a good result is to get the appropriate leads from Component shop and solder the wire tails together in the right order, with heatshrink covering the joins.  Much simpler than terminating on the pins, and I say that as someone who did that kind of thing as part of my job.  Perhaps something like the attached picture?
