Default Soldering Question

Im new to RC's and I have this soldering gun:

http://www.e-sci.com/jensen/RENDER/1/71/390/4035.html

The 140/100W Wellers Gun. I was wondering if that would work to install a new motor, and then later be able to build packs. Also, what kind of metal solder would I need to buy? I think I have Zinc right now, but I can buy Iron or whatever kind I need to use, just wondering if that gun would work with it. It was my dad's old soldering gun, he claims a soldering gun is a soldering gun. He said it should work fine, just is not the pen type.

Will it work fine? Thanks.

P.S.- I have about 220 to spend on upgrades for my Stock TC4 (RTR). I bought new Jaco 2 Layer Foams already, Im thinking of buying a Stock class motor, motor lube, new steering arms (graphite), and what else would be good to put on it for now.

Thanks.
