    Discussion Connectors; ESC to Battery. What Are You Using And Why?

Prior to that I always had a hard time heating them up to melt the solder without the plug material going...

    Posted this over in the 1yr giveaway thread, and realized I hadn't posted here yet: have been lurking here for almost a year. Joined right about the time I joined a club and started flying there. My only focus at the time was helis, but I had bought a parkzone t-28 and was looking to expand...
