Yep...

This is an awesome write up...

I will add from my experience tonight...

DO NOT use cheap wal-mart solder just because you ran out of your good stuff and can't make yourself wait till you can get the good stuff.

It's just not worth it.

I rewired a speed control tonight, and ran outta my good lead solder... Had to run to Wal-Mart to get any kind of solder at all.

It was such a PAIN... I'll be re-doing the entire car again once I can grab some more of the leaded stuff from the old mans house. This should get me through races tomorrow though I hope.

This stuff says on the back 99.3% Tin... GEEEEZE!? What the heck am I supposed to do with this junk!?
