e revo quick question
just got my brushless e revo today, and need to put dean's on the esc. I was wanting to take it off to make it easier to do, and all i see is 2 screws on each side of the esc. Is that all that is holding it on?

RE: e revo quick question
well when they arrive, i'll be using 4s lipo's with dean connectors, but this wire is like 100 times thicker than the dean connector. i've never had probs soldering any of my heli wires on deans before. i can't do it, i got a 30watt solder but it won't get the wire and dean hot enough to solder together. any tips? maybe a 60watt solder gun?

RE: e revo quick question
Ya, you need a higher watt soldering gun. I actually suggest a variable one like the Hakko 936 if you can afford it.
You may also want to think of using anderson power poles which don't need any soldering at all.

RE: e revo quick question
well let me ask this, since i have an parallel adapter coming in the mail also that has deans on it. instead of soldering a dean to the esc wire so it will plug into the adapter, could i snip the deans off the adapter and solder the esc and adapter wires together?

RE: e revo quick question
I'm curious to know what 4s batteries your going to use? Do you actualy mean Two 4s batts? I didn't think there were any 4S batts that would fit the battery compartments...
BTW.. just in case you didn't know there is an official EREVO thread. My set up is in there with pics of the batts I'm running. The thread is not usually on the front page of the electric offroad stuff because thers only a few of us that post every so often. [8D]

RE: e revo quick question
When you solder deans plugs clamp the deans plug and tin the with alot of solder then tin the wire ,soldering to with thick wires use alot of solder heat from the bottom side of the post you are soldering hold the tinned wire on the tinned post once it melts hold it for a few seconds and you are good to go , the key is heating the solder threw the underside of the post I like to use 60/40 rosen core solder almost any crappy iron will work just let it heat up .
