pointers

[Shadow350Z]

ok Ima be changing my stock plugs into deans ultras on my HV-Maxx, my charger and my batts
can you guys give any pointers??
my tools are
a K&S Soldering Iron 60watt
im using deans solder with proflux
oh and im gonna change the wires on my batts since they got ruined

yeah, make sure to solder this wire first, on that side too, (+) hold the plug with pliers or something, because it gets really hot when soldering..



put a bit of tin on the plugs, and tin the wires as well.

then heat the wires again, press them against the plug, and put a little bit of tin against it, so it all melts together..

That does the trick..

Make sure the heatshrink is away from the plug when soldering, otherwise it will shrink on a point you dont want it.. ;)

It's actually very easy and straight forward.
I always pre-tin both, plug and wire.

I always tin the wire and put a bit of solder on the gold tab first. Then hold the plug in a pair on pliers (or a vice if you've got one). Then hold the wire to the gold tab and place the tip of the soldering iron on the other side of the gold tab - so that your not touching the wire with the iron. After about 3-5 seconds the solder will melt, remove the iron and hold the wire still on the gold tab for about 15 seconds.

Most importantly: don't forget to put the heatsink on the wire first!

Exactly how Serum and Dafni do it. :)

But I suspect you meant heatSHRINK in that last sentence, right?

[Serum]

No, you need to cool the wires!!!! very important.. they might change polarity if you don't keep them cool!!!

Don´t tell me you never heard it before Dafni?

(one way to disguise a fault.. Simple don't admit it..)

[Dafni]

Hey, maybe that's why all those Schulze ESCs burn up?!?!

[Serum]

:D:D:D

Well..

that is one of the 1001 mysteries solved... I think, under the influence of a wine or two Daniel, we could manage to come to 500+ solved.... perhaps we could even clear the Bermuda triangle.. Come to think of it.. Wasn't it a large methane gas cloud? i've got a bermuda triangle cooking at this moment.. :D

[Dafni]

:D :D :D right back at you! You have a good point, Rene. Cheers.

Yeah, if we could share a glass of wine, we would spare our friends here with our off-topic chattering. I hope they don't mind.

While we're at it: You have a methane cloud cooking?? I see a very clear picture, but I hope I'm wrong :eek:

Is it just me, or is the b-triangle kinda out of fashion? Nowadays I like to grow crop-circles.

Just a tip if you cut the stock plugs off it will most likely void your warrenty. So you might want to wait untill your warrenty expiers. Just a thought.

ehh if i dont do this now i can run my RC
the tamiya plugs are loose
everytime i run the plugs come loose

btw i alrdy finished
i did it after
i pretty much breath in all the fumes the solder gave out
is it bad?
am i gonna die?
ahhhhhhhh
deans solder has lead
ugg im screwed am I?

[Shadow350Z]

ehers a pic of the job i done
wut do you guys think??

[crazyjr]

Looks good shadow. Hey serum. How do the wires change polarity if they're too hot? By traveling down to the esc? Or, Are you just kidding the kid? If you are serious, thats a new one on me

I think that your gravity powered motor mount won't work, but if you get Serum's magical methane cloud working for you..........:D

[Shadow350Z]

if your wondering why the motor aint mounted cuz
the set screw on the pinion came loose so i had to put blue loctite and let it dry
