The wire terminals (pressure clips) for the motor driver on the Bonsai Buckaroo have a plastic cover that breaks when pressing them down with a small precision flat head screw driver.
Switched out with a new one and it happened again.
Has anyone else had this happen? Maybe too much pressure on the wire terminals?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Motor Driver connectors on Bonsai Buckaroo
We have seen a few cases of that. Was the "new one" another Buckaroo, or just the connector itself?

Thanks for the reply.
It was a new Buckaroo, ordered another as a backup.
Might try replacing the broken piece with another type of connector.

Yep, that would work. Some people have even removed it completely and soldered wires directly.
But we can replace the ones with broken tabs if you want. Send an email to [email protected] with a link to this thread and your order number(s) and they can send you replacement Buckaroos.
