Installing the electrics

[colt_seavers]

I have been building my DEX 410R since mid-July (!) and am now at the stage where I am ready to fit the electrics. I am seriously lacking confidence when it comes to this as I have no idea how to solder. I have watched online videos etc, but don't really feel good about taking the iron to my new Tekin ESC/motor.

What is the best approach? Should I solder the wires onto the motor before fitting it in the car as the tabs are going to be at an awkward angle?

I think I have settled on the layout (Tekin ESC and small KO receiver help), but I am concerned about the soldering procedure.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Sometimes I think it would be nice if I could just pay someone to do it for me but that is defeating the object I suppose as I have got this far on my own! Plus I don't know who I could pay!
