    • @NeverEnoughPyro40
      @NeverEnoughPyro40 2 года назад +3

      If soldering is the best way to connect wires maybe you can answer this question, Why don’t you see wires soldered together from the factory? How come you do not see solder joints on race cars! Unfortunately a lot of people do not know what they are doing when it comes to soldering, What usually ends up happening is people tend to leave excess flux on the wires and eventually it starts to corrode the wires!

    • @SpendinThatCash
      @SpendinThatCash 2 года назад +1

      @@NeverEnoughPyro40 At the factory they are making cables to length with connectors on each end. If there isn't a connector it IS soldered somewhere. I'm not sure what you're struggling to understand.
      Solder joints on race cars? What are you talking about?
