Re: Soldering Wires to Motors

If you do solder, make it quick. Our irons put out 800 degrees, doesn't take long. If you use female quick connects, pinch them just a little smaller so the terminal on the motor is snug, sometimes the motor terminals are thinner than the male quick connects. Whichever method you choose, I suggest leaving another 6'' of wire available to cable tie to the side of the motor itself, or to something close to the motor to relieve any strain on the motor terminals. If you break the terminal, it's garabage.
