Thanks for taking the time to create this thread Marine6680. It is very informative and helpful.

Soldering is one thing I detest, and I've certainly been going about it the wrong way (large globs of solder everywhere, never clean the tip, and subsequently a 90% failure rate for any connections!). This thread and a few recent articles online have changed the way I will approach soldering, and will hopefully increase the likelihood of decent connections on the 80 gazillion components I have to solder over the next few weeks (changing everything from TRX connectors to Deans- batteries, 2 chargers, several MMM ESC's, CC and Tekin motors).
