I tend to look at area under the curve to determine best timing with my Minipro results. Good example here is a Fantom Icon 21.5t vs USGT 21.5 motor. They both have almost the same peak power, but...

It's a little confusing on what you're looking for. Your charger comes with a 2-6S balance board and I'm assuming you have a 4S lipo with a balance port. You need a 4S male to male balance cable. ...

If you're only occasionally soldering things, you probably don't need a Weller or Hako brand. It should have temperature controls. I've been using a Yihua 75w soldering station for about 10 years. It...
