Anyhow, the tip. After tinning the Deans and wire, take a Dremel with a thin cut off wheel, and notch the wire so one half slips over and under the Deans tab.
You'll have wire contact on top/bottom/end of the tab. Touch the bottom of the wire and not more then 2 seconds and you will have a rock solid bond.
I like this idea for getting the large wire onto the Deans but my biggest problem has always been tinning the large wire. How do you get the solder to melt all the way into the wire?
