[nizzeight]

Thanks for sharing! great guide... I have a couple of new LiPo batteries coming in today that i need to swap over to Traxxas connectors... I'll be follwoing this guide to a T and hopefully end up with some solid connections like you did :)

[slash4x4lipo]

[07NiNjA600]

@Mykidrm fukin LOL i agree its solder not sawder

[mexilover4ever]

[theexpertrcpilot]

One of the best soldering videos I have ever seen....

[HrSprocket]

Awesome joint. Thx for sharing!

[pccb28]

GREAT VID MAN. THANK YOU!!

[Tommyhonda100]

I was wondering how hot the velenion moter should get (in degrees farenhite

[Mykidrm]

What's Sawder? There's an L in SoLder! 

[forresttrenaman]

@Mykidrm I don't know, you tell me.

[nstahlable]

@forresttrenaman how would I remove the tabs from the connector

[xXBMXSAINTXx]

@Mykidrm lol your dumb he was saying it correctly.

[wojtuniakfrog]

@Mykidrm Its pronounced like "SAWDER". Stay awake in english class.

[RustBeltRoots]

@Mykidrm You really don't know how to pronounce solder or are you just trolling? According to American Heritage dictionary it's pronounced |ˈsädər| . Great video by the way.

[ngnaw]

@Mykidrm Noob it's pronounced "sawder" and spelled solder. Geez go to school.

[Tigerbarb202]

@Mykidrm you don't pronounce the L smarty.

[mattisagoop]

Do those connectors fit with real traxxas connectors

[forresttrenaman]

@mattisagoop Yes, they work flawlessly with Traxxas connectors.

[cripin2021]

Now I see why my soldering jobs don't work very well. You recommend an iron for at least 40 watts, I bought a cheap little iron at walmart that only does 20 watts.

[hayabusafmw]

how do you keep your tip so white ..... i used mine 2 days and it's black as shit

[forresttrenaman]

@hayabusafmw it's the quality of the tip, mine gets all black when I leave it for a while, but I just tin it and wipe it off.

[MrRyanstutorials]

When solder rehardens it looks really cool

[c1rca121]

is there any other fee's(besides shipping) when ordering from Hobby King?(im from Nanaimo lol)

[forresttrenaman]

@c1rca121 No, I have never been charged anything at the door, as long as you value it less than $80 (you get to choose at the checkout). If you pay with credit card you also get charged a $3, so I use PayPal.

[gullfunk]

you change my mind about using flux i never used it before

[sikeruke]

damn i really dont regret that i subscribed you dude keep up the good work

[forresttrenaman]

@sikeruke thanks, great to hear.

[lancer2589]

Your electronics could fry if you leave it on that long. Place the tip between the wire and the plate and heat up both. Then connect them and place the tip on top. Much easier. And don't you struggle with placing the tab/plate inside the plastic connector? It pissed me off so much I went to all deans.

[forresttrenaman]

@lancer2589 good point, I will add an annotation to let people know.

[forresttrenaman]

@lancer2589 I just tried your tip you gave me to heat up the tab and the with at the same time then place them together, it takes a bit to get the hang of but it works great.

[Yams313]

Are you still using the Casio Ex-Fs10?

[forresttrenaman]

@Yams313 no, this was taken with my Panasonic HDC SD9, it has a better zoom and is better for close up shots.

[IRISH0627]

Nice video

[dumle29]

you do know fluss is acid?. so why not acid core solder?

[forresttrenaman]

@dumle29 Tecause The flux in the rosin core solder dose not corrode your joint once it set. But the acid in acid core solder is still active after you have soldered with it, so it would corrode your joints, and is usually meant for higher oxidization levels, such as copper plumbing pipes.

That's my understanding anyways.

[technoandrew]

I have to say that's some top quality filming there (I watched it in HD) :)

@skyL1N34ever cool, youtube snake.

[humxa24]

i love soldering stuff!!!!

[rudewolf89]

Make sure not to burn yourself with the solder it burns like hell lol

[HoboJIm117]

I would recommend you use tinyurl for your links in the discription, to cut down on clutter.

But excellent video, keep it up :D

[forresttrenaman]

@HoboJIm117 good idea.

[shotgunpainted]

@HoboJIm117 i would recommend not it seems to me to be safer to not do it so i know what websites im going to

[forresttrenaman]

@shotgunpainted that's what I was thinking, and when i view the links youtube cuts off the last half anyways so that you don't have three lines of text making up one link.

[HoboJIm117]

@shotgunpainted

There is a preview function for links, and I would trust this user because of his consistently quality videos.

>>> i! *1ST* i! <<<

[xXShadowRejectsXx]

i have a solder station just like that!! you know what the little sponge is for!?!??!

[wolfxx66]

@xXShadowRejectsXx to clean the iron when it dirty

[forresttrenaman]

@xXShadowRejectsXx It's used to clean the soldering iron tip.

[krssnoop]

@forresttrenaman wet the sponge :)

[geurgeury]

[forresttrenaman]
