same here, it's like crack and can never stop using it since, ha!
exactly, you don't need very much... I use it to remove old wiring and apply it on bare motor leads as well as dunk the tip of bare wire into the resin and the solder soaks almost instantly leaving a really nice shine :)

All in good fun... I believe all gold plated connectors are equal with respect to diminishing return on IR
I have raced many years with Deans on 6S without issue, but I melted more Deans on 2S in 4WD SCT, go figure?
We know the reason why as discussed with voltage vs amps on the KV motor...
WELL.... technically I still use deans connectors for my tire warmer connections to my power supply so they still have practical purpose related to my RC stuff, ha! I have a 3S pack with Deans to power my warmers track side just before a race if I get into a race/marshal/race situation...
well, that video was 4 years ago... I no longer run Deans and currently use EC5 connectors which makes it easy to use the same 5mm bullet charge harness for my shorty LiPo packs ;)
Only reason I use EC5 on my 1/8 race rigs are because they are available from Zeee which is my go to battery...
I have found that the quality of the iron isn't nearly as important as the quality of the tip. I've been using a very old 50W adjustable iron that paid about $20 from Radio Shack roughly 8+ years ago, the TENMA chisel tip was about $6 and that tip is going on 4+ years old that I continue to use...
