When I solder deans plugs, I hold them imbetween a pair of pliers. Use one hand to heat the solder (big blob) on the deans connector, and the other to hold the wire onto the melter solder. Then hold it for 10secs to cool....don't forget to put the heatsink on the wire first!!!! I've made that mistake before.

I use 3.5mm gold connector (rated for 50amps) to connect the motor to the ESC. All lehner motors have 3.5mm plugs installed on them. If you can, use the 4mm gold plugs because they are rated for 80amps.

I soldered the uBEC wires onto the ESC input wires first, and then soldered that onto the deans plug. So I have 4 wires (2ESC, 2uBEC coming from each deans plug). If you unplug the uBEC from the reciever, the ESC will still be on but the reciever will be off so the truck will just sit there.....
