I already know how to solder, but I just wanted to say that this is a really good tutorial, especially for beginners. I have seen FAR FAR FAR too many shoddy soldering jobs on RC cars and its always good to see someone making a tutorial to help people that struggle with something.

@HardcoreRC 2 года назад

Many thanks for your kind words, i used to really fear soldering, then one day it just clicked and i then sat there wondering why i used to find it so hard and hate it, so felt i just had to share.

@lexsteel12 2 года назад

Everyone has their own soldering method. What I like to do is, I use a vise to securely hold the wires that are gonna be tinned. Or, even a cloth pin glued to a small wooden board. I got that one from the basher queen, Kimberly. And when soldering I also use a wet sponge, to draw the heat faster from the connector. And finally, when soldering bullet connectors, such as 1C8, 8mm connectors, I use a male or female bullet connector and a channelock plier to push the connector into the housing.

@HardcoreRC 2 года назад

Indeed they do, but the basic skill is pretty much always the same, just see and hear so many thank struggle to solder, and its normally just down to t a few simple things that if they do right it becomes a joy to do. Yeah saw the peg solder station Kimberly makes, so simple yet so effective

@HardcoreRC 2 года назад

When soldering two wires together I would always intertwine and then solder

@garygullikson6349 5 месяцев назад

Good stuff, but a good 60-watt Weller soldering iron with replaceable tips is enough for occasional connector soldering. Use a safety stand for the iron. Use a bridge of molten solder between iron tip and item(s) to be soldered to transfer heat quickly. Keep wiping and re-tinning iron tip before, during and after soldering. Unplug iron when done to preserve the tip. Unleaded solder requires too much heat for easy hand soldering.

Been using an antex 25 watts it's perfect especially if u also need t solder leds as 60watts might be too much heat and burn them

@HardcoreRC Год назад

The watts doesn't determine how hot an iron gets, it determines how quick it heats up and how well it will hold the heat rather then having it sucked out when touching something else. Best option is to go d a high wattage but also be able to adjust the temp

@ShimaUta86 2 года назад

If you use too much solder while tinning the wire you will get “wicking”. Meaning the solder will run underneath the insulation. Not really a big deal but you won’t get any flexibility near the connector. There are tools that look like clips to prevent this.

@HardcoreRC 2 года назад

I actually like a bit of wicking as it seems to help prevent wear on the wire, any io have had that have had no wicking always wear out with the constant bending and nothing more to support the wire

@27ups 2 года назад

Great video. Any advice on types of connectors and the limits. For e.g why EC5 or XT90, what about XT150, or 200a connectors (OS8 i think?) ?

@HardcoreRC 2 года назад

XT90 are rated to 90 amps, EC5 are rated to 120amps, XT150 are 150amp and the OS8 are super beefy. General us on a 6s car then the XT90 or EC5 are fine, i prefer the EC5 as they do have higher amp limit and also seem to hold together better. 8s cars i would suggest the EC5 due to the high amp rating or the XT150. When doing speed run cars its worth bumping up the OS8

Great tips thanks. I have soldered these plugs but never enjoy it. I think my £8 soldering iron could do with upgrading. The worst plugs are the Deans or T type ones. They have a tiny little tab and they are just a nightmare. Never found a good method to do them and just swear a lot!

@HardcoreRC 2 года назад

£8 solder iron is probably holding you back, key to good soldering and the ease really is the power of the iron, the quality of the solder and also extra flux if needed. Deans are a pain, but again with the right equipment and this method they are also fairly easy

@ChrisNY86 2 года назад

Anyone have trouble with ec5 connectors (specifically the esc side of things)? I find that im struggling to get a clean joint without using too much solder for the wire to slide back into the plug itself...not so much that im using too much solder but it just seems to need far too much force to get the ec5 esc or "device" side as it states on the packaging to get a nice solid click and hold into the plug itself which I haven't experienced when I soldered a bunch of my batteries qs I've been recently changing all my electronics to ec5/ice etc I used the block of wood as well to hold things in place but it just seems to me that when trying to "seat" the plug i either can't get them to click into place well enough to where I would even dare run the max 6 esc at all. I've never had issues doing small diy soldering or prior xt90 or deans but ec5 (esc/device) plugs are making the process very frustrating for a rather simple task... any chance that im doing something incorrect by sliding the plug on first and then soldering and sliding the now soldered bullet end away from the esc ? Awesome detailed and essentially necessary vid man thanks

@HardcoreRC 2 года назад

Interesting as haven't had this issue myself, all i can suggest is look at the bullet, you should see the raise bit around it the what locks into the plug, you should notice that it has a flat side and a angled side, the angled side need to be the bit that slides into the plug, i have some that you put the plug on first and some that you put the plug on afterwards and i have to check by looking at this raised bit. If you have it the right way round then try using a bit more force until you hear the click

@jaredsayrc4947 2 года назад

That the easiest connector to solder what about traxxas connector those you get to be good at solderin XD90 connector are easy connector ec3 or EC5 are easy to come on and do a hard one like traxxas connector

@HardcoreRC 2 года назад

Traxxas connectors are also easy, just fit the connector into the pliers or mole grips between a piece of carboard to stop the heat transfer, then just solder on the side that has the little ridges on it using the exact same principles. The reason i didnt show them is because they are 💩💩 and only rated to 60 amps, hence most people change them out to a connector that can actually take a higher amp load, for the same reason people dont use XT60 or Deans connectors these days

Same process, for even more fun do it to Traxxas connectors, but principle is always the same

@@HardcoreRC I use 100w soldering iron I use 40/60 solder , the lead free stuff is useless . By the time I can make the solder hot enough to weld together the plug has turned to Molten jelly .

@@mark-1rc502 yep the lead free is horrible, its probably one of the biggest things that makes people hate soldering. Melted many a plug in my day using lead free solder.

485 degrees... Bit extreme...🤣(sic)

Verbal mistake, Meant 385c as seen on the solder station

Wish I saw this before I entered the hobby and started soldering batteries! Unfortunately, I exploded.

@HardcoreRC 2 года назад

Did the same myself years ago, it’s something you learn not to do after doing it once 😂😂

@@LyrickCZE the lipo puffed up and there was a big bang, luckily the lipo didnt actually explode as it was only storage charged

@@HardcoreRC Glad for you and thanks again for great info - next time I make sure to discharge batteries before soldering!

@HardcoreRC 2 года назад

@@LyrickCZE Your welcome, yes always keep lipos stored at around 3.8v per cell, they are far less volatile and likely just smoke rather than burst into flames at this voltage

I used to as well, i actually look forward to doing it now and look for things to solder 😂😂

Silver solder did you mean unleaded. Back to watch and mark the rest now.

Yes mean unleaded - horrible stuff 😂

Might be the accent, but he says 485 and sets it to 385.

@HardcoreRC Год назад

I probably do, i don't script anything, just speak as im filming so its all natural, normally i would add text to correct but clearly missed that, but the read out shows what the temp is

@gboulter 2 года назад

It's a pass but not an A+. Twist the wire before tinning it will stop the strands splaying to the side when flowing into the bucket on the connector. Insulation tape has a far to low melting point if the cable being unsoldered should drop the tape won't even slow it down I normally use a cloth tape or a piece of card. When tinning it should really be completed faster to stop the solder wicking too far up the cable if the it goes past the cap or the heat shrink it will form a stress point that can fracture in time.

Need to try harder like my old school reports 😂😂 never thought of that with he insulation tape, good point, cloth tape it will be from now on
