I would like to get into rc building but I'm worried to buy my basic gear like a motor and a ESC because I am unsure how to connect the end of the wires together I know you can solder them but I would prefer not but a soldering machine is it possible to make it so there is like a jack on the end of my wire so I can re use my motors and esc and mix and match them later on. Thanks

Sure. Just get some electrical connectors like these:

Really ????????????????????
Not the fact that you do not know how to solder but the fact you ask for a video.... Google is your friend with this!

You don't need an expensive soldering station, I spent under $30 for this setup here which I bought nearly 8 years ago and is still working well for me to this day, plus soldering wires is a lot easier than you think, the trick is to use any 50W iron with a chisel tip:

FWIW, if you are going to invest into a soldering station, I found it best to just get something around the 70-80W range which can cover just about any RC need you could ever have... I did these:
You do want to make sure you have different tips. Most irons in this range come with a tip used for tiny electronics which won't work well for most RC applications.
