If someone can find ESCs with the connectors already attached in the 45-60amp and $50-$70 range please give me the link and I will purchase it right away. I do not want soldering involved as I do not want to spend extra on a soldering gun to do this one job, and I always do a lousy job soldering when I tried.
While I'm not saying it's impossible to find a ready made setup, but it's very hard to participate in electric aircraft without some soldering. Like anything else in this hobby, the only way to get better at it is to practice doing it. Simply get a roll of wire, solder, and flux and start practicing making solder joints. It really doesn't take too much time to learn to do it properly. But if you're going to be flying an electric plane then it's a skill that is going to be worth learning.
My dad was in electronics and when I was 8 years old he taught me how to solder. He made me do just like I said above, sit and practice soldering until I got it down pat. I didn't enjoy it when doing it, but now I thank him every time I heat up my soldering iron. It's a skill that comes to use in this hobby quite often.
