   Another great tip 👊!!! Gotta love Harbor Freight, too👌. Was literally just soldering on a new Arrma motor connector an hour ago. Had to laugh when you mentioned sloppy mess 😂 cuz it sounded like my first attempt…Lol😨. Truly appreciate these Tech vids and the awesome service you provide 👊. Keep up the great work!!! 🤘🤘😎💪👊👊

   Hi. Great video. I love your products and I buy a lot of stuff from you. Question: I struggle to solder battery connectors with my 30W soldering iron. You made it look super easy. Do I need a higher wattage iron?

   Another good video! I use a block of scrap wood that I have lying around, and I drill several holes with various sizes in it, and that's my soldering jig. The wood gets burned a bit sometimes, but the main reason for using wood is that it won't suck the heat out of the connector or wire when soldering. Just my 2 cents….

   Why can't you just clip and strip the wire just a bit shorter?

    Great tip! For what it’s worth, a Dremel with a 1/2” or 9/16” grinding wheel works great too 🙂 How do I know? I tried it after watching this video because while I have a Dremel, I don’t have a bench grinder, and the Dremel setup with 9/16” grinding wheel did the trick, and I felt like I had excellent control of shaping the wire too. I was putting an XT90 on a 6S pack with 10AWG leads. Thanks!

    Never cut both wires at once.

    Do not do that. Lead dust is not good!!! Clip off edges with micro side cutters

    So, you made some lead dust and probably ground off some of the wire itself. Why not just re-tin the wire and thwack it on the table to remove all the solder? Then you can just re-form the strands so that they'll fit into the connector and re-tin the wire..

    Do you really think it’s safe having both wires bare at the same time 🤦‍♂️

    Wow that's nice you swap it for free. My local shop charges £3.5 per connection

    Wow, that’s awesome that you’ll swap connectors on lipos for customers. I kno where I’ll be buying some 3s lipos from for my Erevo 2.0!!

    Instead of having the exposed pos and neg leads flopping around which can possibly touch, I use a rubber band around the battery which can hold the wire that you're not working on at the moment safely out of the way.

    I use my cutting pliers to trim the over tinned end a little bit, if it's to fat to fit.

    Hi,
    I appreciate your advice. I just soldered battery wires to my hobbywing pro. The soldered posts are are only about 2mm apart and uninsulated. Should I be concerned or try to cover them with shrink wrap or electrical tape? It’s awfully tight. I’d send a pic but comments won’t allow pics.

    An other tech tip, use a gas soldering pen when soldering that kind of plugs, 10 times faster and better soldering.
