      Solder…. Interesting. I was expecting if you can pull those wires during the experiment! Thanks for taking your time doing some test of the product! Take care!

    Nice test. I enjoyed the soundtrack on the second run. I solder all the time, highly recommend heat gun attachment that wraps around the wire, faster, and puts heat where it needs to be.

    Great video Jon, looks like the solder joint held up good. That edf was probably drawing anywhere between 85-95 amps.

    • @thelightersideofrc
      @thelightersideofrc  Рік тому +2

      Thanks! Yea it did very well. I had no idea how it would hold up going into the video but it performed great! Also any edf i've flown i'm all over the place with throttle to preserve battery so 3min at full throttle is pretty rough.

    Interesting test, never thought than they could handle high current loads. These solder connectors are so handy especially when working on automotive applications. One thing I like to do when the joint has any chance of getting wet is to put an extra bit of heat shrink over the top so it’s extra water proof. My only comment on this test is I would like to see the actual current being drawn during testing. It may be a 100a esc but it doesn’t mean it’s pulling that. Would also be nice to test one of these connectors to a heavier load to destruction to see what the limits are as manufacturers sometimes don’t put this on the packaging.

    Nice to see them pass the test. The glue on the ends will keep solder in place even if did start to melt the SOLDER. 200amps might be an issue but who knows eh. Most EDF,s would hardly use full power constantly so yeah means go forth and use them solder sticks. Nice job Jon keep at it. Oh what was thrust ?. Am assuming was on orange meter 5 then down to a constant 4.8 in lbs? wasn,t bad. ;0)

    • @thelightersideofrc

    • @thelightersideofrc
      @thelightersideofrc  Рік тому +1

      The big or primary concern most people had was that the low temp solder would melt when the wire got hot. It’s low temp solder but it still takes a decent amount of heat to melt it.
