Ok, i have a question, since i am absolutely pitful at soldering i bought a vrap 25w iron. My question is that would this be sufficient to solder noodle wire onto a motor? And how long do you think it would take to warm up. Finally, what type of this is the best (mine is currently a pencil shaped one)

25w iron should solder a wire just fine I use a adjustable 15-35 watt personally because I also solder delicate IC's to circuit boards when I make other things.

Pencil shape = best

as long as its not one of those crappy gun shaped ones that you pull a trigger to heat up. Those are pretty bad from experience (been soldering stuff for over 15 years)

as for heat up time it depends on the soldering iron I find some I owned take 2 minutes some have been 6 just take the solder and touch the tip of the iron every minute or so if it melts easy its at the right temp to solder. Here is a decent guide for noobs to soldering found on you tube

Finally got the damn you tube embed to work

Ok, i tried to unsolder the wires off of the titan 12t by heating up the part where the wires connect (not the solder), and it changed coler, but the wire wouldn't budge. It became a bit shinier.
Maybe i was just to impatient, (my tip was also black with other things on it<probably why)

If you have a metal file laying around lightly file off the black stuff (you can use a fine grit of sandpaper if you don't own a file but I don't really recommend it), and after letting it heat up put some solder on the tip to make it a nice shiny silver color. but that video I posted is actually fairly good for instructions on basics of soldering which should work fine for putting wires on a terminal.

You just need to clean the tip. Get a wet paper towel and clean the black off the tip and as suggested use a bit of solder on the tip as it will conduct the heat better.
