How To Solder EC3 Connectors

Want to learn more about the hobby of RC helicopters? Please visit my website: www.rchelicopterfun.com/

This was exactly what I was looking for. I watched several videos on soldering the connector to the ESC, but this got right to the work and had good pointers about the length of the stripped wire, how to hold the connector and most importantly which one goes on the ESC and which one goes on the battery. Thanks!

that’s very strange because I usually slide a connector on the wire first and then do the soldering and then pull it up. however, I have never done this EC3 stuff. It’s going to be my first time so I’m researching and I find that kind of strange. thank you for the video.

Nicely done, thanks for the video!

Great info! Thanks!

Спасибо! Ничего не понял что говорите, но понял как завальцевать.;)

it did help. thank you

You should try a wood block with the correct size holes for each connector, Much less heat loss / transfer than your metal vice. nice video though

Thanks for this video, I was getting very confused trying to buy the correct adapter for my new charger and I didn’t know that the male goes over the female. Probably a good time for us as a society to stop labeling connectors based on heteronormative genital touching

Thanks again for a great video John, you've given me the confidence to give it a try (with spares of course) after being out of the hobby for a while. I had a question about connectors, I'm building a Trex 500X and the batteries I got (3300/6S) had Deans connectors on them. I'm not sure if I should change them to EC5's like I' had on my 550? I'm almost ready to solder the ESC (RCE-BL80A) so I'd appreciate any advice. I checked out your website, lots of good info there but I'm not too worried about current draw but physically whether the Deans small contact patch would be appropriate for my 12 AWG wires?

Great vid but i was wondering what type of mat you are working on? Thanks

Answered every question I had and problem solved. Thanks

For these plugs. Can you crimp the wire into the pins or is soldering the only way

Why is my Sauter only liquefying once maybe twice? Cools before I can put wire in. Is this from lack of heat or wrong type of soldering wire?

Johnny boy. Great content.

Got my new Zeee batteries, they have EC5 , not EC3 can I use an EC3 on a EC5 , the battery wires are the same size

These connectors are such a pain in the ass!

I hate these connectors. They are a pain to solder

It's solder as in shoulder. Why do you Americans say sodder?
