This may be an older video, but gosh dangit, very helpful, especially for someone who has never done this before. Thank you!

AWESOME informative video!! I wish we had this kind of help back in the day getting into the hobby. THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge among other hobby enthusiast!! :-)

Great video, i have to reduce the length of my motors connection, this method is perfect for it! Thank you very much for sharing this precious video! Added to playlist ;)

Very good video. You know your stuff! Although, I would not recommend that station. It doesn't have real temperature control. The pot only sets the amount of power the soldering pen is getting. So that's gonna lead to the temperature going up and down while you solder. I would strongly suggest a real temperature regulated station, like the Weller WES51. Especially if you plan on doing a lot of soldering!

What is best to do if you dont remember what rosin type you used, I have different ones and the cables on the ESC to Motor came off. I be ordering a wide tip dint know about that what temp is good to set the soldering gun. Thank you for your videos they are super!

The solder you should be using on electronic connections contains a rosin flux core, so the flux melts out of the solder as you use it. There are two different solders available for electronic use that I like to use. One has a Tin/Lead mixture of 60/40 and the other is 63/37. The 63/37 melts at a slightly lower temperature than the 60/40 solder does. Make sure your roll of solder says "Rosin Core" on it, and you will know it already has the flux inside!

I use the Kleen-Strip brand Denatured Alcohol that you get at Home Depot or Lowes stores. It works great to remove the flux residue left over from soldering. You cna use an old toothbrush to get the baked on areas off. The flux should be golden yellow color. If it is a burnt brown color you are running too high a temp on your soldering iron.

Hello Nice video, I tried removing extra flux off connectors using Denatured Alcohol but it didn't remove any flux. Please advise. I used Rosin Core 60/40 Solder.

@DiamondDave888 Yeah, that one's probably great! The predecessor to the 936, which is arguably the most popular soldering station of all time :) SparkFun Electronics sell the 936 (clone, but they say it's just as good as a Hakko) for like 40 bucks. I use a Weller WS81 though, the 80W and tiny pen is very handy, but it costs likewise.

A few other videos use a really fine soldering iron tip and insert it into the small hole in the bullet connector. They flow the solder from the top while holding the wire in the connector until the cup is filled and heat for about 10 seconds to ensure the tinned wire solder is melted. Which is the better method? There must be a reason for the small hole in the bullet connector? Your method would ensure the connector is melting the solder vs the tip inside the connector.. Which would produce a better connection... So it begs the question what is the point of the hole in that case :)

@Kankki1 The Hakko 926 is much better. I use one. Get it!
