Anyone into R/C?

I need to practice soldering today. It's an achilles for me. You see these clean ass solder joints in catalogs and pictures with just a dab of solder on a motor, it's like damn!

Then I need finish prepping this Carrera body for when the paint shows up.

Gonna take an old Tamiya stock motor and some old motor wires and try getting clean joints.

Wish me luck.

 

1. Use Thinner and smaller Solder
2. Flux is your friend
3. Get a good soldering iron set up that you can dial in the temp and not burn or overheat the connection

 

Well, I do have the iron. It's the technique and reps I don't have yet.

I can do better than this. I have all the supplies, solder sucker, flux, braid, I think my biggest mistake is not letting the solder do the work.
