So this is the one part of the hobby I haven't got in to yet..in the past I've brought my connectors to the lhs and I think it's time that i learn how to solder. I bought my first motor and ESC combo for my Big Papa long Rock project . It's a mamba monster 2 with a 2650 kv castle motor .the esc doesn't have any battery connectors so this is where I need help.the videos I saw they didn't use any flux . questions
1 do I need flux?
2 what temp does the iron have to be set at ?
3 what's a good type of solder?
4 what is a decent soldering iron that's not going to burn a hole in my wallet?
5 what is a good helping hands unit ?
6 what would be the best type of battery connectors?
I do like the E C5 .I haven't had any issues with them yet but since the combo is by castle I saw castle connectors..are they better? Thank you guys for helping me and if I missed any newbie questions plz feel free to let me know.appreciate you all
