hi all, i am just trying to get going with a 1/12 scale and was wondering if you are getting the same experience soldering these 4600 cells.
my experience base is more on the old sanyo 1700 and 2000 nicads with deans conneters, where it took just a few seconds with a 3/16" chisel tip to get it hot enough for the solder to wick under the connector and the battery surface.

i just got some 4600's and bichn bars, and find that in order to get solder to flow under the connector, i have to leave the tip on for what seems too long that i might damage the cell. because these things are 4600's there must be more mass inside the cell.

this isn't directly a 1/12 question, i thought you all might have the most relevant experience (and if you are older could contrast your experience between nicads and todays cells)

thannks in advance for info,

ps: my eyes are still bleary from reading the last 2years of this thread, which has been very helpful.
