Thanks for the info. That is almost excatly the way I do it even with the Alligator helping hands clips. The problem I have is that by the time the solder melts on both the wire and the Deans, the connector it is melted, and not in a good position to accept the other receiving deans connector.
I will try the method of having the deans connector in the receiving deans connector.
Having it in the receiving connector defeats the whole thing, taking away heat from the pin you are soldering to. You have to have an iron with sufficient heat mass, 1/4 inch chisel tip on 40 watt iron is about the minimum you should be working with. Bring iron and solder to the joint all at once and then the instant solder flows get off it.
