Im back to it after 30 years, was never great at soldering and was dreading it as i know everything is soldered and its a useful skill to have in emergency repairs. I purchased the below from ebay to practice with and it doe a great job, image attached of battery connectors, motor and ESC are the same quality which I think is fairly good, certainly won't break off in one of my many anticipated crashes.

I also saw the below being used track side recently, it was being run from a 3 cell LiPo and did a cracking job. I'm going to invest in one as my charger has a DC output of 100w which will run this nicely.
