Soldering Help Q & A's

[macfjej]

hooking up my brushless esc to my motor keeps getting pushed back, i never seem to have the time, and now that i do have the time, well i sort of chickened out. my knowledge and skills for soddering are pretty basic and i've never had a few hundred dollars riding on my work, heck i never had a few bucks riding on my work. i looked online but that didn't totally help. if anyone has links specificly for soddering large wires togeather, i'm all ears. if anyone has tips for the follow questions, that'd be helpful also.

are those feigao wires alumium? i heard alminum makes for a bad connection.

how much wire am i sopost to expose for the joint anyways?

mike says to twist the leads together but how am i going to do that if they're tinned?


those are my three main problems,, that and finding a new tip for my iron but i'm looking right now. thanks for the help,,,, and sorry for the seemingly endless questions
