You shouldn't need anymore solder now, just put a tiny amout on the iron put the wire on the connector and allow the solder to heat as soon as it heats move the iron and it'll cool and should all be connected. Heat a tiny amout of solder on the iron, then allow the bared wire to soak about of solder and cover the wires, then heat a small blob of solder on the connector (put heatshrink sleeping down the wire) Something to hold the connector helps too like a set of helping hands (search eBay for helping hands) will greatly aid soldering! But is not essential.Ĭut and bare your wires, prep your connectors with a bit of wire or a scourer. When getting a soldering iron, make sure is a variable temp one with a stand a sponge to clean the tip each time, having the soldering iron up too high will make soldering a pain in the ass!įlux can help the cleaning of the connection. XT60, very similar to deans, both need soldering- chop out old connector, solder in new one (female connector on battery side), done.Īs far as comparing them to Tamiya ones, weren't you involved in a thread discussing connectors, where some great information was shared about the fact that Tamiya connectors have their limits, and that deans and the like are a vast improvement in several ways, no? I read in another thread about a XT60 connectors and would like to know more about them, could someone please fill me in about these connectors? How hard are they to fit? Do they snap on or do they need to be soldiered? My soldiering isn’t that good, would I still be able to fit them? What makes them better than the Tamiya connectors?Rofl! I have lost faith in Tamiya connectors and want to change them. I needed to change battery at lunch time and I noticed that the Tamiya connectors were more than a little warm to touch and a little blackened. At the weekend I used my trusty M4 in more of a support role.
