Required Tools and Adhesives
• Phillips screwdriver (small)

• Electronic speed control w/connectors
Note: Use a good quality solder and flux when
soldering electronic components. Check with
an electronic store to purchase the appropriate
components for soldering if you don't have
these on hand.
Important: Always make sure that what is
under your soldering iron is of no great value.
Solder that drips can easily damage a surface.
It is suggested to have an inexpensive piece of
plywood under your soldering area to prevent
damage from dripped solder.
Step 1
Locate the connectors for your motor. Use pliers to hold
the connector. Heat the connector with the soldering iron
and feed a small amount of solder into the connector.
Note: A drop of flux will make the solder
"stick" better than just using the solder alone.
Step 2
Tin the ends of the wires on your speed control by using
the iron to heat the bare wires. It is always a good idea to
apply the iron to one sire of the wire and feed the solder
from the opposite side to draw the solder into the wire.
Step 3
While the wire on the speed control is still warm, heat the
connector with the soldering iron. Slide the wire from the
speed control into the connector and leave it for a second
to make sure the solder has fully heated. Remove the
soldering iron and allow the wire/connector to cool before
moving anything. After a minute or two, give the connector
a light pull to make sure it is secure.
