Just a friendly tip. When I was taught how to solder I was told to heat the wire and then melt the solder to the wire, and not to melt the solder on the solder gun if that makes sense. This prevents cold joints and allows the solder to flow down into the individual "fibers" of the wire giving a stronger and higher quality contact.
Thank you for the heads up, in my head it's "tinning" but it always comes out as "tinting," I've kinda given up on trying to pronounce it right consistently.
I noticed the connector was vertical when you soldered it. I have the same jig. I’m soldering Deans connectors. Is there a way I can use the jig to hold the Deans connectors in the horizontal position so it easier for me to solder? Thanks

Should always tin the tip of the iron. Like you said, prep work goes a long ways in preventing cold joints.
Hey just fyi its "tinning" not tinting. Otherwise nice video showing how well that jig works.

@@TheHobbyistRc haha all good i kinda figured!

Yes, if you want to put the connector in the vertical silver posts, you can hold the connector in a horizontal position.
