I just watched the video of 'how to solder deans' -

http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/ima...lder_deans.WMV

Now that was impressive. Didnt happen like that when I tried it, but after reading the thread (thanks for the tip) it seems clear now that my iron wasnt hot enough (25w), and I lack the finess of a true solder-er. I got my new iron today (30w); blimey its so much better. It heats up in just 3 minutes and melts solder instantly- I also made sure to tin the tip properly and that helps alot. I did the soldering trick on the crimped tamiya connectors for the time-being, but I will have a look at other larger connectors like the powerpoles ( heard of them from my robotwars days ). Thanks for all your help guys, it is very much appreciated.
