ESC Solder Tabs - HELP!!

[Andysan]

Hello Ooplers,

I am wiring up a Nosram Matrix ESC and replacing the existing motor wires as they are too short. The two at either end of the ESC went on fine but the hole in the final tab seems too small for me to fit the wire in. Obviously I;ve tried to remove as much of the existing solder as possible using braid but I'm having no luck at all and am concerned that I may start to damage the ESC soon (the tab is starting to look a little wonky).

Is there a better way of doing this please, or something I'm doing wrong? Should I keep trying or stop in case I damage the ESC/tab? Using a 60W iron and a brand new wide flat tip. Not sure quite why I'm having so much trobule as the first two wires went in on the first attempt.

Cheers.
