This is what i have. A good soldering iron goes a long way. Don't need to get one this fancy, but a higher wattage/temp soldering iron will do what you need.

You need an iron with more thermal mass, not necessarily hotter. Look at the hammerhead tips that cheapbatterypacks carries. I only use their tips on batteries and larger projects. A 60w iron and a hammerhead is enough for about anything RC related.
