Another dumb gearhead question. Is it really better, safer (lower resistance) to make crimp fitting connections on very heavy gauge wire - like 6 Gauge - than to make proper solder (or silver soldered) joints? I'm appalled to see the 6 Gauge battery wire connections (after they loosen up from many cycles of make and break) and think that they are carrying maybe 100 amps. In fact, a lot of the FIRST rule motor connections worry me in this regard. Give me a nice hefty chain and sprocket set, thank you very much.

: 6 Gauge wire -- it is carrying a lot of current.
