    I strip wires everyday multiple times, this guy cleans them like a pro. Well done bro.

    Nice. I thought I was nitpicking about not getting a whole bunch of different colours in wire.
    Certainly keep the temperature of the esc in mind when soldering.

    Wow I felt like I just went from zero to pro by watching this. Now I know my end results (me not having built an RC anything in 20 years) are going to be so much better. This end result was CRISP. I will literally watch this step by step when wiring up my electronics. Thank you so so much for a great video that will help me very very much! Subscribed

    Why don’t you use a clamp on your wires when tinning them? It keeps it in place and prevents the solder from flowing into the wire which makes it a hard inflexible block.

    Great video!! 2 questions for you - 1) where did you get the heat shrink wrap you put on the esc to motor wires? I can't find them anywhere. 2) My ESC is a reedy, and my receiver is by HItec, the receiver is kind of wide and the receiver, esc and capacitors have a tight fit on the plate. Is it OK for it to be a tight fit touching each other? Any ideas on how to place them so they don't touch? Can the receiver stand on its side? THANKS SO MUCH!!!!

  • @Ed-ty1kr
    @Ed-ty1kr 5 років тому +1

    And I watched this thinking he was gonna show me some neat way to bundle light kit wires or something. For maybe a drift car or scale crawler with brake, sound, high low beams, blinkers, winch, steering wheel servo, ect. This was just a track buggy ESC motor combo instal. And that should probably be the video title. Anyhow. I would suggest not using lexan body snips to cut and strip wires. This actually ends up cutting wire strands making that 13 gauge a 14 or even 15 guage. And also ruining the fine edge on the lexan body snips. Instead use a box cutter or razor blade to lightly roll around the wire, and score the silicon wire coating. Taking care not to actually cut through the coating, but just very lightly roll over it with the blade. Then just simply pull on the end of the wire, and it will pull off at the score. Using wire strippers also cuts through wire strands as well.

    • @theINQBS
      @theINQBS 5 років тому

      When it comes to soldering QUALITY wire, more is always more. I find a temperature of 600° to be most ideal because it heats everything up almost instantly so you place your leads where they need to go once tinned, apply a touch of flux to help carry heat through everything instantaneously AND assist with leaving a mirror-like sheen to your joints.

  • @dooronron69

    Nice vid but I personally would have a bigger soldering tip with more solder on it so you don't end up with loads of little bubbles making up the solder, a 40w weller is great for soldering motor wires, that's what I use, and your crimper isn't ideal, mine crimps all at the same time and you put the connector into the crimper, close it till you hear 2 clicks then insert wire and crimp, crimper HT-225D, i got mine at cpc farnell, on soldering it's better if it all melts at the same time and creates one single solder mound / bubble

    Aluminum jigs are not good. They dissipate too much heat,so you have to hold the iron on the wire longer.

    • @theINQBS
      @theINQBS 5 років тому

      That's only so if you're using a weak or hobby grade soldering iron. If you have a quality iron, it'll work quickly regardless of what's touching the wire/lead.

  • @theINQBS
    @theINQBS 5 років тому +3

    You used way too much solder when tinning the leads. You only want to coat the very end al the way around.
    You fed solder into the wire, stiffening it up at least .25" which creates unnecessary resistance.
    You also didn't solder the leads onto the ESC properly either. You should clean off ALL the Solder from the ESC ports and
    then you can slide the leads into the holes and solder from the bottom which is how the factory does it for a perfect solder.
    Each port should have a shiny bubble of solder just like from the factory.
    Get a wire stripper and CLEAN your tip!!!

    • @nickjonesadventures

    • @Pops180
      @Pops180 4 роки тому

      You should always point the wire down when tinning. This keeps excess solder from feeding too far up the length of the wire keeping the wire from getting stiff. It doesnt add resistance, it's just an inconvenience.
      To get a good solder joint on the speed control, apply solder to a single terminal at a time and attach the wire without removing the iron from the terminal. Once the solder cools, it will never melt the same because the solder flux has evaporated.
