Anyone on here solder like a pro? I've got the proteus motors and I would like to run them in the triangle configuration, but I don't have a soldering kit that can handle that kind of soldering. I don't want to buy something ill only use a couple times. Let me know please.

You are correct Carl, they come with the parts, but need to be assembled.

What a guy! Hey Chuck, I've got a mini torch, and a couple of soldering irons, but neither seem to get hot enough. One even *claims* to have a 140watt turbo booster. What iron do you use, or would recommend?

I use a 230 watt gun for bullet connectors.

Wow Egneg, can I ask the same of you for a Aquastar? I'd be happy to send a few bucks in the box for your time. :) Here are the specs for the AS:http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__24853__Turnigy_AquaStar_T20_3T_730KV_1280KV_Wate r_Cooled_Brushless_Motor.html I'm pathetic at soldering and would love to know it was done correctly. Cheers.

Hello Egneg.

Do you still have the wood block with the template to do this solder? I have a proteus motor too that needs the same connections. I tried making this solder for my first 42" build but I did a slopy job :doh:. I'll be glad to pay for a well done solder on my motor's connection and be able to rule out a bad motor connection on my build. Could you do this work for me? What would you need me to send you besides the parts that came with the motor?

Thank you :help:

Yes, I still have it. Besides the parts all I need is what configuration you would like as from my experience there are only enough parts to do one or the other. I will send a PM with address and paypal info.

You sent enough bullets to do the ESC side on one of the configurations - may I suggest the one on the right - just let me know if you want male or female.

I think we would want males on all of them because we'll have females on the actual ESC correct? Is that what you were thinking? Let me know what is your suggestion.
