adding extra bullets between esc/motor

[Jeff Wohlt]

The reason I like as much in contact with the wire and bullet as I can.

Certainly I would use the best electronic solder I could. I use regular radio shack solder for electronics but beats me if resistance is lower.

Why not silver solder? Would that not be better than all the tin in others?

Deans solder is suppose to be good but who knows....probably radio shack quality anyway...LOL.

I've been using a Kester 62/36/2.... it's 2% silver like the Deans.

I like it 'cause the joints stay shiny instead of turning dull like a lot of solders...

Problem is the stuff is 3 times the price of a good Kester 60/40... $65 for a one pound spool. Since it takes me about 5 years to go through a pound, the next time I buy a spool it'll probably cost $300 or so.... looking at it from that standpoint, $65 is a bargain!

I think using good electronic solder is just as important as good
5.5mm plugs.

Regular solder will add more resistance then good electronic solder

AMEN!!! you're absolutely right, I use only the best solder commercially available for the hobby industry Novak.

I used to swear by Deans, but have always been curious about some solder used in the stereo hi fi industry that bears tons of silver, and has ultra low resistance
WBT. After looking at their work, I wonder if they make 6mm connectors (that's what I use) I would definitely get them. They're out of germany and their rca jacks are made from highly ductile "OFC" copper 52pct these guys appear to be the "resistance busters"

Combine low resistance solder with high quality low resistance connectors, wire your system efficiently (cut all excess wire) and I PROMISE you will see a noticeable improvement over a basic system. You may find all sorts of benefits from more runtime to lower temps, more punch, its an all around great thing. I won't even contaminate my solder joints with 'run of the mill" solder you will always see me with Novak solder. It actually smells better than others, but I do NOT recommend takin' a whiff of it lol

I've been using this stuff - Qualitex [62/36/2] from the local electronics store. Flows great & stays shiny. $ 34.99 / lb. I always dremel my (solder) joints smooth to eliminate hot spots.

Damn, Wilmer, your enthusiasm never fails to amaze me!... LOL
Maybe I'm misreading your statement, but how can you beat the resistance of a properly done hardwire setup?

Yeah, you're right LoL I meant I meant like a run of the mill setup.
