what solder
 

Hi guys
Just wondering what solder you would need for rc cars as I spotted one in aldi for 9.99 which will be availible thursaday 24th worth a look at but they will have 4 types of solder and I was wondering what type would you need

Hi,

Talk to me on Sunday or next time at the track. I'll show you what I use.

MiCk B. :-)

I got the aldi ones before and they weren't any good

Stuff with lead in it, not RoHos complaint junk.

I use solder which is a 63/37 mix of lead solder with no issues. This is or was at least a common industrial solder. I know how ever the is a solder with silver in it which is sold by a number of r/c companies which would be ideal. I think but am not sure it probably works out a little more expensive for the silver solder. Again the regular 63/37 works fine, try avoid lead free stuff unless u have a iron capable of reach the temperature require to melt this type of solder.

Thanks lads I think I have some 63/37 in the shed but ill leave the solder until im at the track next

The club have a stand at the South Dublin Model Railway Club exhibition this weekend. Saturday to Monday 11.00 - 17.00 . All Components will be trading there and they sell various solders plus soldering irons.
