Default RE: crimping tool

Solder can actually generate a vibration fracture point. This is due to the wire becoming stiff where the solder is. A crimped connection does not have this problem. This is one of the reasons they mostly crimp on full scale planes except on circuit boards and the like where the connections are supported. A little bit of heat shrink helps IF you can get it into the right place.
