Marauder, Radio Shack has a really nice soldering iron thats only about $45 bucks. It's a "race station" style solderin iron, all digital. It goes up to about 880 degrees. If you get some x-acto "X-tra hands", the deans will be very easy to solder. I was having trouble with them, so I traded the guy at the LHS a Venom 5000 mah battery to solder all of my batteries and ESC's for me. He showed an easy way to do it, and I've been doing really good with them ever since. If you want, I could take some pictures to show you how I use the third hand tool to solder them, because its very easy to do.
Hey Charlie, that would be great. I appreciate that. I used to have a good iron but it went missing a few years ago, someone must have 'borrowed' it and never returned it. I understand the process to solder, but my problem is that my iron really is terrible. I did a quick search online and I believe I found the iron you're talking about. I will probably pick that up today, I'm sure it will make a big difference, I believe my irons now are junk anyway.
