60w is more than enough for escs and motors.
i used to suck at soldering but have praticed alot and now consider myself quite good lol, its defnitly not easy, but tinning the tip before you touch the object you want to heat up helps, it transfers the heat quicker, plus not much will stick to the tinned area as it will stay on the iron.
also use solder that contains flux, bison make a nice 40/60 solder wire that contains plenty flux.
i praticed heaps before i took on my motor/esc. the esc is for me the most difficult.
if you tin the area and the wire enough then there is no need to add more solder afterwards. less is better in my opnion, so once the are is tinned you need to just touch your tinned tip to it and push the wire into the solder as it flows, once the wire is all the way against the connector then release the heat and hold the wire there without moving at all, just take the pain lol, its worth it.
good luck and keep praticing!
