Default Soldering Bullet Connectors

I can not seem to get my bullet connectors soldered on good enough to allow a good current to pass from the esc connector to the motor connector. In order for the motor to run, I usually have to wiggle the wires, and or hold them in place. Does anyone know of a better way to solder these? If this has already been said before, feel free to re-direct me to a different forum.

Thanks,

Here's a thread about soldering connectors:

It is about a different type of connectors but the basics still apply.

Are you sure the connectors themselves are OK?
What connectors, exactly, do you have?
What is the rest of the power system?

Thanks guys, I will try some of these suggested techniques to see if my connections improve. BTW my motor/esc is [link=http://www.rchotdeals.com/Products/rc/Brushless_Motors_ESC/240918CB.html]this one[/link] and my bullet connectors are the E-flight 3.5 mm connectors.

Thanks again,
