Really useful! I am rewiring part of an old BSA motorcycle and this will save a great deal of time and help me match the original connectors. Thank you!
It’s always nice and easy in the video. It just doesn’t work that simply for me. My bullet connection never seems to get hot enough to make the solder melt and I’m using a Benzomatic ST-2200 so there is plenty of heat
I also have a sc2100, never had much luck soldering with. Buy a soldering iron and I think you'll be happy with the results. I like using 60/40 solder, flows very well.
If you would have wetted the tip of your solder iron, then heat would transfer much quicker. Also I don’t think you need to fill up the ‘cup’ with so much solder. About half full would be sufficient - don’t forget the wire you are sticking in also needs to take up some space in there
do you use a different type of bullet if you want the wire to lay flat ? or do you modify the bullet you have there to allow the wire to come in from the side ?
Why pre-tin the wire. When you put the wire in you’re running it anyway. If it’s pretinned then it’s all going to melt anyway and add to the solder in the bullet.
That makes no sense. If you don’t pre tin it then there is no chance of it being at the incorrect temperature as you aren’t soldering it at all. Do it all in one go means you only have to get the temps right once not twice, so less margin for error.
Also, how do you know the temps were right when you tinned it? You may have tinned it at the wrong temps. When you introduce the tinned wire to the solder it all melts again anyway, so what difference does it make?
@@Nick-cs9dt the difference is it's pretinned and the flux cleans the wire if you put cold wire in all ready melted solder the flux might not be absorbed by the wire. but of course if you are only working on a RC car it ok but if you are working at NASA you have to follow protocol.
Unless you feed little more solder into the joint after both are together wind up with cold joint the reason is when you joined it there was no flux flowing. Always have to have flux flowing from the core of the solder when joining. I lost a plane because of that not using flux when joining.
I have never seen anything as silly as using metal wrench to hold the bullet! WRONG! If you don't have a proper holder just use piece of wood with drilled hole in it to fit the connector. You get lot better tip to bullet heat distribution.
@@Peter-ii4xq you would do everything differently? So you would heat the spanner and make no contact with what you’re soldering would you? Everyone likes to criticise but then not actually able to say what they would do differently, lol.

Tried that way today😀
Not too difficult and they worked first time
At what temperature did you have your iron?
Thanks for your video. Great idea using the spanner as make shift helping hands!
Best video ever.
No, you are not the only one mate ;) thank you for the demonstration !
nice! I will use this in building my first rc plane!

It did help mate thanks
Thank you
Very helpful, thanks as well. Nice job.
I think some little girl was getting murdered while you were recording
That in my bote does not last 2 minutes it melts, i use 8mm bullet and weld with fat wire and solder with torch
Get a goddamn wire striper.
wet ur tip that'll transfer heat a lot better
pre -tin wire also
too much solder in the connector cup

That was a shitty way of soldering a connector
you are right
Thanks , I was really bad at doing this

Dude, it works so shut up
This is how not to solder a bullet connector
So what would you do differently?
@@Nick-cs9dt Check this method: ruclips.net/video/dOACqQ_ZhoQ/видео.html
@@Nick-cs9dt Everything. It seems a joke to me.

@@Nick-cs9dt First, you don´t wanna go warmth in the used tool. Second, it´s a mess the way the bullet sits.
I agree. I've actually turned "off" very good videos because of the irritating background racket.
