How to Solder Deans Tutorial [HD]

[DeathShepardAirsoft]

Can someone please tell me. I am planning on instaling deans on my m4 and I was woundering, do I need to drain the battery before trying to cut and expose the wires for soldering so I don't shock myself? Its a Ni-Mh battery.

[gtjack9]

@DeathShepardAirsoft it will not shock u as long as your hands aren't wet

and you can drain the battery if u want just do 1 wire at a time this video shows him exposing the wires at the same time if ur still worried just put som tape on 1 of the wires

while u do the other

good luck :)

[earnytha]

thank you

[casur]

good song...¡¡

[TheRazorHound]

I will forever associate soldering with this kick-ass song.

[justwired]

u guys know with the proper atf license you can own real automatic weapons

[DeathShepardAirsoft]

@justwired you cant shoot your friends though

[freediverga]

I'm about to Solder my first lipo batteries. It's first time soldering so I did some practice and the thing I noticed when i try to tin my iron tip it doesn't stick like it did in your video it just jumps of the tip

[JEAirs0ft]

@mudding96 It says that in the video.

[mudding96]

U should cut and strip 1 wire at a time so u don't short your battery

[JEAirs0ft]

@robblac That was my friend and I, thanks for the compliment.

[robblac]

whats with the stupid soldiers at the start ?

[X123XZAl3k]

OR you could buy a connector

[hobojoeisme]

@X123XZAl3k The connector doesn't have wires on it bro. The connector is the Deans itself.

[bros4life98]

do you have to tin both sides of the wire or is that what you did by putting some iron on the tip before you put it on the bottom

[TheFalloutprops]

Wats the song called

And helpful video thanks !!!

[HunterhuntED101]

Very useful thanks mate!

[freediverga]

my iron won't tin like that it just repels it and just jumps off it

[ccommpputter]

God knows how many times i forgot the heat shrink before soldering.

[HerringUSNA]

Probably the most badass song to ever be associated with a soldering video lol

[womackke]

very nice work hauss

[shoegooguru]

if you forget the heat shrink...just dop some shoegoo aound the bare sections of wire...or get some liquid electrical tape. Either works excellent.

[D3mOn4teR]

what battery are you using in the end?

[JEAirs0ft]

@D3mOn4teR King Arms lipo, it's the one that came with a PEQ box.

[D3mOn4teR]

@JEAirs0ft off ASGI?

[JEAirs0ft]

@D3mOn4teR On Evike, but they discontinued it and replaced it with a Matrix version. Which basically is the same thing.

[lizardmannnn]

Wow really good video quality what camera are you using? also thanks for the video!

[Meboyboyboy]

great video, a few questions, if we do not have a good 3rd hand device, what is a good alternative? I saw these deans on evike (they look to be silver and black instead of copper and red) and I was wondering if they're any good, also, what dean goes to what? Male goes to battery right? or does female?

[MrSleepyPuppy]

@Meboyboyboy Wire the same as your tamiya connector. Just make sure you have negative going to negative and positive going to positive. I've had a few people make the mistake of doing one connector one way and another the opposite. Its not very good as you can guess.

[Meboyboyboy]

@MrSleepyPuppy Thanks, but I already soldered mine! It really made an improvement over the default tamiya connector! :p

[boredgunner]

@PTSAirsoft Radioshack, ebay, Home Depot... charge the battery by plugging it into the charger. So solder on Deans to the battery, charger and gun.

[1st1twing]

excellent howto video!!! I wish I would have watched this before I did mine!! mine don't even come close to looking that good!! nice job

[Ovan527G]

How many watts is your soldering iron?

[JEAirs0ft]

@Ovan527G 40 watt

[nyal1988]

thanks to you have just soldered my first deans! works mint, very good video. Keep up the good work! :)

[boredgunner]

Thanks for the vid, I fucked it up on my own (wouldn't hold together) and as a result the high resistance caused my trigger contacts to break. Won't be making that mistake again.

[0611930024838]

Question: you mean tint your iron as in melt some solder in the tip?

[JEAirs0ft]

@0611930024838 Yup, tinning the iron is just melting the solder onto the tip.

[SgtWoodyAirsoft]

where do you recommened buying deans plugs at?

[JEAirs0ft]

@SgtWoodyAirsoft Online or at a hobby/RC store.

[SgtWoodyAirsoft]

@JEAirs0ft im looking for ones on ebay. what should i go with. please post a link for me. thanks.

[Oper8or]

Very good tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to do it.

[NadoBengals]

I am ashamed to admit that I am one of the many who forgot the shrink wrap..... >: I

[CaveTarra]

Good tips, I need to improve my G36c a bit. Add tighbore, hopup nub, and deans so thx for this video.

[SneakyGrape37]

Im going to be putting Deans on my batterys and this video helped a lot i didnt understand the instructions and now i do. Thank you

[JEAirs0ft]

@SneakyGrape37 You welcome :)

[SquirmingCoil1]

imo, this is THE best deans ultra soldering vid on youtube.

I can't believe how many tutorials there are on youtube where the freakin wires don't even get tinned!

[BansheeFifteen]

Very good video and clear instructions. Thanks, very helpful.

[rune7tom77]

hi nice tutorial im going to change all my plugs to dean :). just one question what the songs name?

[JEAirs0ft]

@rune7tom77 Mr. Rager by Kid Cudi

[r2323r23]

nice vid! its even for airsoft! soooo....was that a vfc gun you had there? i t looked like it from what i saw

[JEAirs0ft]

@r2323r23 Yes it is a VFC gun.

[hobojoeisme]

Hey I have a question. Is it possible to solder Deans onto a battery that has tamiya connectors? Or would that be bad?

[JEAirs0ft]

@hobojoeisme You have to cut off the tamiya connectors, then solder the Deans onto the leads shown in the video.

[hobojoeisme]

@JEAirs0ft For a battery that had tamiya connectors too?

[JEAirs0ft]

@hobojoeisme Yes.

[hobojoeisme]

@JEAirs0ft Ok, thanks. 

[JEAirs0ft]

@hobojoeisme But if you do cut the connectors, cut ONE at a time and don't let the exposed wires touch each other or else you might short out the battery which renders it useless.

[conan1me]

@hobojoeisme yea but you have to cut the tamiya connectors off

[hobojoeisme]

@conan1me no shit sherlock

[02blazp]

nice video, really helped me :D thanks!

[thirdlanark11]

Great video.

Could you tell me who is performing on the soundtrack?

Thanks.

[JEAirs0ft]

@thirdlanark11 Mr. Rager by Kid Kudi

[airsoftmasters]

Wow what a great video. How many watts is that soldering iron your using?

[imthatleader]

Where can I find deans, I can't find any at Lowes or Home Depot, Ace Hardware, maybe like Hobbytown or something?

[JEAirs0ft]

@imthatleader Hobbytown or Hobby or RC stores will definitely sell Deans connectors.

[Motorizedgags119]

When you hold the deans, you should grip onto the plastic because it would prevent scratching the gold plating

[SatchmoPwns]

Love your stuff man keep it up.

-Mike from the facebook group.

[JEAirs0ft]

@SatchmoPwns Thank you for the support man, really appreciated!

[downhillbkr247]

a tip when soldering deans, is to connect the 2 connectors (male/female) while soldering them. this keeps the pins(or bars) from becoming mis aligned while you heat them.

[JEAirs0ft]

@downhillbkr247 Thats why i said don't leave the iron on too long to prevent warping of the plastic.

[downhillbkr247]

@JEAirs0ft Yes, but connecting the two connectors is an extra step you can take to prevent the connectors from becoming misaligned.

[JEAirs0ft]

@downhillbkr247 Agreed
