Another great content vid. Lots of great information for a newbie. Not new to soldering but not a lot of experience either. I’ve got it all ahead of me , changing battery EC5’s to EC8’s.
You might try a much thicker solder wire and a higher wattage soldering iron that way the brass in the connector wouldn’t wick so much heat from the iron, just a thought ! Great channel btw always love the content👍🏻
80 plus watt i iron should be used. You can plug the mate of the connector into it which will help absorb some heat to prevent the connectors from shifting from too much heat.
I was about to write the same thing to him. 80-100 watt soldering station and always use the counterpart of the plug when soldering. How I learned: Solder hot and short.
Its much easier and faster when you tint your Iron with solder before you heat up the connector and fill up with solder. On the last you fill up the most empty room with solder for more durability.
tip for anyone watching now but the two connectors together so you don't unaligned the plugs, also please back fill those more lol. Also it isn't a pain in the butt to heat your cup tin, just have a real soldering iron or a 200watt solder gun...
Another suggestion would be to take a file and scratch up the inside of the bullet. and just a smidge of flux. and a little hotter iron. but nice work, making it flow nice and stick well.
Watching ur video as I’m about to solder a qs8 for an e-bike build. I got the same shit iron. BARELY gets hot enough to melt solder if it’s touched to anything which wicks heat. Really wish I had spent the extra $10 for at least 40-50w iron. might have to let the connectors sit out in the sun for a bit before I give it a go
Looks great man. Ive been thinking about doing this for my bj42. Connectors get a little warm for me. One thing you may want to try out is connecting male and female sides of the connector when soldering. I do this with my xt90 to keep the bullets aligned just incase i get them too hot and start to shift.
Thanks, yea I mentioned that in the video, plugging in both connectors. With my soldering iron with both male and female conectors plugged in it took way to long to get up to temperature.
A little flux goes a long way, but good job. I soldered up a few of these gigantic connectors lately and it's the 8 gauge wire that makes the job challenging not the connector. It's best to lay the blade of the soldering iron across the connector rather than pushing down on the wire with the tip of the iron. Cheers!
Thanks. My thought process was if I shaped the wire to the cup it would have more surface area in contact with the bullet "cup" ? Idk... hopefully it's okay.
You mentioned the charging adaptor…can these connectors be charged with the spectrum s2200 G2 charger? Do we have to make an adaptor qs8-ic5, or can it be purchased? I have been wondering how to charge these connectors…that’s the charger I have - the spectrum smart charger.
How do you make these connectors easier to connect and separate? I purchased the OSE 8.0 from offshoreelectric and if I connect it all the way I need pliers to separate them. Is there a trick to these? I tested 5 sets.
There supposed to fit tight especially in the actual bullet for better current flow. Not sure how the make them easy to unplug, I've only had them for a few days now.
Bro this is a great idea i never thought to do it this way im like the only one up here in maine that uses QS8 connectors to putting the plug in the end to keep them straight is fuckin genius thanks for the vid bro keep killin it buy the way i just put the xlx2 hydra in my blackjack 42 with the 1721 motor think it will work good in a boat or to much rpm ?
Why lol I've got 2 and 10 fingers. 😆 I've got a homemade soldering jig, it was getting in the way and I couldn't get as much pressure on the 8g wire to bullet..

The qs8’s are excellent. They have a lot of the same characteristics that I’ve come to love with the XT90s. That hydra esc has me drooling

I agree. More power, shorter time. 50 watts minimum. bigger tip. :)
I use a 120w portasol or 140w elec iron and 60/40 tin/lead solder not 40/60 or lead free
Excellent soldering. Thanks for sharing. Sending my support

@@IRONCLADRC haha. Oops. Thats what i get for watching while regreasing the shaft on thr blackjack and the sonic wake
Great job Big B
Why you guys cut the wire so shot, I don't get it.
Thanks for the vid! What temp is good to run for soldering these?

@@IRONCLADRC I'm sure the solder joint will hold up. Can't wait to see the results!
AWG8 is easy to a 200watt soldering gun, my Son races ride-ons irons are for kids, guns are for men.
NICE TO KNOW. I WILL BE DOIMG THAT JOB IN AN UPCOMMING PROJEKT

Great soldiering job, not that I’m that great at it my self, but I can see you got it down to a fine art. 👍
What kind of dog yougot 🤣
Thanks, those big connectors are easier than expected..
I've got a Great Dane and a mastiff/boxer mutt.
Thanks for the video
Salut et merci mais moi j'aurais besoin d'un 12s existe il 🤔

@@IRONCLADRC I can live with tight, this is more than that, I will contact offshore and possibly return them. Thanks
That is an animal big b!!
What type of solder do you use
60/40
Do you not have a right hand?
Darn crocodile,
@@IRONCLADRC Sorry
these are tiny wires easy to solder.... we are 200a to 300a... soldering 4awg & 6awg wire to QS8 & QS10 connectors ...
BIG B Big oops 16:53 forgot cover

Gonna be a ripper, keep us posted, curious very curious now
oh got an open end!!! nm
You need some helping hands big B.
Why lol I've got 2 and 10 fingers. 😆
I've got a homemade soldering jig, it was getting in the way and I couldn't get as much pressure on the 8g wire to bullet..
@@IRONCLADRC 🤣🤣🤣 well whatever works for you. I'm not that corridinated lol.
what helping hands model would you recommend?
I respect your channel, but I have to unsubscribe because of all the boat content. Its been fun.
If it's not for you, then it's not for you. Thanks for Watching
@@IRONCLADRC Respect man! You did teach me how to get the slipper clutch good on the 3s/4s Arrma vehicles. And for that I thank you for that.
