Tk955 is junk?You have cheap no good solder. Get GOOD solder. So much of it is junk.
I didn't. But it's a second hand. And they are definitely shorterDid you cut the motor wires or using the factory tinned ends? If you cut the wire shorter, that’s your problem. Motor wires have a coating on the wire itself. The factory tinned portion has this coating removed.
Then you will have to chemically remove the ceramic coating. Ask @LibertyMKiii about the methods he has tried. Something about aspirin if I recall.I didn't. But it's a second hand. And they are definitely shorter
Motor wires have a ceramic coating to prevent shorting inside the can. It is not easy to remove and solder will not stick to the ceramic coating no matter what you do. The coating must be removed first.You can tell by looking at the bare wire ends. If you can see and twist the strands, the wires need to be tinned together.
Will do. I'll message him. Thanks sirThen you will have to chemically remove the ceramic coating. Ask @LibertyMKiii about the methods he has tried. Something about aspirin if I recall.
I think you're misunderstanding what's going on. TP motors come with the 3 motor wires pretinned and ready to go. If you cut those tips of the wires off then you're left with the wire that has the protective coating over it. @real_name_hidden has a used tp motor where someone cut the tips of the motor wires off so he can't just tin it like a normal wire. He has to strip it of the coating first or the tinning process won't work.Tinning is getting the wires hot enough that solder flows all the way through the wire. Takes a lot of heat. Now if you are talking about the wires inside the can, that is different. Wires from motor to esc are what I'm referring to. Once the wires are tinned or soaked with solder, the solder will flow and stick to the bullet connectors. I use a Weller Professional 260/200 solder gun. Takes a lot of heat. Get the gun tip good and hot and touch the solder joints only as long as needed. If you use to low of heat, it puts too much heat all the way down the wire and can cause other solder to melt.
