Well, yesterday got the new shocks built and installed, the new motor broken-in and mounted. Picked up new rear tires, so I need to glue them up.

Still need skinny foams for the fronts.

Then the wiring chores begin. Who can recommend a good, reasonable priced soldering iron setup suitable for use with Dean's connectors?

Last "funny" thing...yesterday at HobbyTown I saw a brand new B3 kit that I could have bought for less than I have into this project....oh well.

If you go to a hardware store, look for a soldering pencil instead of an actual "gun". I am sure you can probably pick one up for cheap.

LH has one for $6 that can solder deans plugs on in less than 6 minutes of plugging it in. I don't know what the name is though, but I'll be picking on up soon.

try to get one that is 60W or better. They get hotter and makes the chore alot easier. It should be less than $10

Having fun again!!!!

pencils are not usually that high wattage, I have mine from college that is 25w but its meant for smaller electronics. I use my portable butane weller most of the time cause I hate wires hanging around when I am working and my kids walk past. Its alot more money to get the butane one but I think its worth it. I just finished soldereing new wires and batts up for the MLST and it works flawlessly.

The fleet:
LST2(His): LRP Z.28R Spec.3, Full Carbon Fiber and all the goodies - $Too much
T-Maxx(Hers): Modded TRX2.5, Full RPM, Some REVO goodies $Borderline
XXX-NT AD2(His): Modded LRP.18S Pro, Graphite and Aluminium $Great deal
Losi Mini-LST(His): Insane Motors, converting to aluminium $Why not
X-Ray M18MT(Hers): Tekin 5.4Kv BL, 3Racing all around, Custom 8.4V $Dont ask

Watching her T-Maxx still running after I broke all of mine....$Priceless

I have a butane one from RS, works great, but now the tip for it is like a little mound, not a point, oh and the part that holds the butane cracked so now I have to get a new one.

ok electric guys...last nite I got it all connected and ran this thing a little.

The wires between the battery and the ESC got warm-hot, but no other wires got even warm. The buggy did run.

What's your quess? What other info do you need? Who has a cheap (read "free") ESC they want to donate to see if the one I have is no good.
