when i had to solder deans plugs on my 4 turnigy packs with 8awg wires, i got a few tips that really helped.

1. i used a 80w soldering iron
2. extra flux on the wires makes the solder flow so much better
3. helping hands (or at least some locking pliers)
4. a tiny bit of flux melted onto the solder surface of the deans plug helps too

the flux makes a huuuuge difference. all you have to do melt some non-spill-able flux onto the wire, load a ton of solder onto the tip of your iron and touch the iron to the wire. the solder will flow on very nicely. you may need to load the iron a couple tires if you have a small tip. i used a large chisel tip and it worked perfectly.
