I've checked radio shack to no avail. 
Do I have to get the connectors (from the controller to the hall sensors/horn/everything else) from GoldenMotor or is there somewhere else that has those kinds of connectors? (Controller side connectors)

I lost all the connectors during a move...

can't u use every type of connector you want???
is it just reconnecting the wires, if so then why not solder directly?

I need the CONTROLLER SIDE connectors.
I'm not going to solder anything..  All I want are $1 connectors.

Ok well there is ebay, computer shops and old computer power supply connectors to name a couple of starters...
Unless you recycle, I think you will be up for a tad more than $1 a connector there my solderless friend.

I bet if you choose a box to look in, then pick the complete opposite to it, your connectors will be in there. Lol for some reason when I lose something in a box, its always the last one I look in!!

Or the first one, underneath something else haha

Yeah, Been there, done that.  I haven't been able to find any internal PC component molex connectors that are the same as the magic controller.
It looks like it's either solder time or $35 from GM.
Oh well, I tried.
