Get someone to solder the wires on the solder tabs of the motor. The only way to do it.

Or use vise grips

Best to have an experienced person solder your connections, that is what I do.

he puts them on with vise grips

OP
soldering is a must have skill for rc, if you dont know how, then this is a great time to start learning

I agree. Go to radio shack and pick up a soldering iron and a few "learn to solder kits". They've got an AM radio, FM crystal radio, and a few others that will be very helpful for a beginner.

You gotta know how to solder, otherwise, someone you know is going to be annoyed anytime you need work done.

ABSOLUTELY TRUE. It's okay at first, but LHS employees will get quite tired of this after a while (unless you tip...). First-hand experience here.

I feel your pain, and I never actually worked at the lhs. God knows how many traxxas to tamiya charge adapters I made, and I must have put on 10 dozen deans plugs on stick packs. People would leave stuff at the lhs just for me to solder when I went up there to get parts... At least the owner gave me good deals...

i do agree with all of you you have to learn but soldering on an esc for he's first time might not be a good idea

TexasSP · 05.13.2009, 11:10 AM

That's why it was suggested he do practice soldering first. No one was suggesting he do his first solder job ever and/or learn on his esc.

Easiest thing to do is get some scrap wire and some scrap metal pieces and go to town. Having some vice grips is also very helpful. The second hands tool or whatever it's called that radio sells would be another good purchase.
