*Update 

Got a new Weller soldering iron, flux and tried Ic5 connectors instead of Ec5 wow what a difference,  effortless soldering.

Thank you for all the advice, am looking forward to soldering more now.

 

That's easy. 

 

Buy more RCs.

We have 5 already, not bad in less than 6 months 🤣

I will now re-do the connectors on my lipos (carefully)

Just ordered another one myself - it's a bit like meth. Once hooked, it's gonna get expensive.

 

Batteries are simple to solder as well, just make sure you solder the correct connector in the correct orientation, and don't cut both leads at once. Cut either positive/negative, solder the it to the appropriate position in the new connector, then do the second one. Obviously be very careful to never have the two leads touch, or bridge (i blew a hole into my helping hands because they're metal and i accidentally bridged it when soldering).
