I have a motor to do tonight and its my first time. This video was super helpful and informative. I've done one xt60 before but this one makes me more nervous.

I had no idea about liquid rosin. Thanks for the tip and how to video. I've soldered a few motors with success but this is next level clean soldering.

Thanks I really appreciate that!

What's the rosin for?

Just did all my soldering, and your video was very helpful. Thank you

Is 14awg big enough for the battery wires as well? My 120 amp drift ESC came with 12awg but I prefer thinner for routing and the look. Will switch to 14 if it's got plenty of current capacity. Thanks!

Yes, should be plenty fine! Drift cars don’t see a huge load of current or amps like a drag car due to the lack of grip. High grip scenarios require more current flow due to high loads of strain. Drifting I’ve never seen a need for anything beefy

I dont get how you guys make this look so easy. Is adding the liquid rosin necessary if the solder IM using has it in it already? Cus mine looks like a blind monkey did mine. Going to try again, but is there any worry about heat running back up the wire to the esc and damaging it cus it seemed like it took a really long time for the solder to reheat and melt on the contact points on the motor? Cheers in advance.

If you tin the tip of the iron the solder should melt for you very quickly. The rosin is just to ensure good penetration through the wire as it promotes heat flow. But I have definitely done plenty of soldering without it and the principles are the same. The most important tip I can say is always add solder to the iron tip before each attempt.

Stupid question...what if the esc nor motor has ABC on them? The middle wire is B i suspect...A or C can be either/or If its a programmable esc with a reverse motor option? Sorry, Im new at this and just trying to learn.

I’ve never seen one that didn’t specify A,B or C but I would say it’s safe to assume middle is B

Hi, what solder wire do you use 60/40 or 63/37?

@gravityracergt 2 ай бұрын

This was 60/40

What size solder do you use and what kind?

Hi, to what temperature was your iron set?

@dimitristheodorou7666 2 ай бұрын

is it safe to keep the motor wires exposed? Aren't you supposed to cover it?

Off topic but if u do still play door slammers 2 I saw u had a lot of money and I wanted to know how u made it

@cowboy21745 Ай бұрын

You just killed the power and life span of the motor you should do research first the Wie is that long for a reason

Great video. Thought if your use rosin core solder you dont need to add extra rosin as a flux?

@gravityracergt Жыл бұрын

I still use it. It’s more about getting the rosin into the wire or surface your connecting to. Makes the heat and solder flow straight into it as opposed to just melting and covering the outside.
