Let me just say that up till today, I hated soldering anything……but that just changed! I recently polled club members about their soldering tools. The responses ranged from cave man fire sticks to high end professional soldering stations. After much review, I settled on the  $29.99  Aoyue 469 Variable Power 60 Watt Soldering Station with Removable Tip Design- ESD Safe from Amazon.com

This thing heats up quick and hot. I had absolutely no problem quickly and easily soldering an XT60 battery connector to my new ESC. Soldering ESC wires to the motor….a snap!

AND OMG…..the best part….my wife started a trial of Amazon Prime membership….and my order for this soldering station arrived at my house in less than 24 hours after I placed the order!!!!
