i consider myself as an advanced beginner, anyway i bought a trinity cobalt 2 10 turn motor. i ididnt know that soldering is involved. the first cobalt i got already has tab to put the power wires on. but the new one dont have any tab to put the wires on. people from trinity give me an instruction on where to solder it. but im still kinda skeptic or should i say worried that i mess up my motor or mess up the soldering tab where the brush wire is located. can somebody give me an advice or technique on how to solder it right.i did a bit of soldering before. but this one is kind of different. i dont want to make any mistakes because this motor is kind of pricey. can somebody can give me SOLDERING TIPS.? have a good day rc people!

Just solder it where the brushes are soldered. Its a chunk of metal so you cant really mess it up unless you use a torch or welder to solder.

To solder you should clean the brush hood (where you are going to solder), wet your tip (coat the soldering iron tip in solder), then hold your iron on it for a few seconds and touch some solder to the hood (touch the solder to the hood, not the iron). You want to coat where you will be soldering in a small layer of solder. Do the same thing for the wires, and then all you have to do is join them by pressing the wire onto the hood with the iron untill the solder melts. The solder should flow between the hood and wire into one puddle, if it doesnt you can add a bit more solder. Then remove the iron and hold the wire steady untill the solder has cooled, the joint should be shiny and you should be able to pull the wire without it coming off the motor. Use at least a 40 watt iron, and take your time.

If that sounds too hard or you are still afraid you will botch it ask the hobby store to do it for you.
