RE: Which Iron
I solder at 45 watts. Anything over 40 should be good.

RE: Which Iron
for just wiring (motors/escs) i use a 60watt iron
for batteries i use a 100 watt gun the thing is with batteries is that u need a iron/gun that can heat up the surface of the battery fast enough without overheating the actual cells also besure to scuff up the cells contacts (a lesson i just learned =P) for a better bond and to use flux anything above 40 should be good if it is a good quality iron not one of those cheapy ebay china ones but a good radioshack or weller one my 100watt gun gets hot very quick in about 9 seconds when i pull the trigger thing i like about guns is that it only gets hot when u pull the trigger so when ur not working with the iron right @ the moment, it wont burn anything |
RE: Which Iron
