good soldering iron for Emaxx batts...
I'm trying to find a good soldering iron that is GOOD for the batts and ease of use
I have a 7cell GP3300 i want to rebuild for my E-maxx
first bought it it was already build and ready to use
I know batteries don't like heat so
is the soldering iron below good or not...
heres a pic of it
and the link to its site
[link=http://www.coldheat.com/products-classic.cfm]Cold Heat[/link]
Or should i buy a Hobbico 60watt soldering iron instead?

The trick to pack soldering is not so much high heat as is it is quick heat transfer. I don't think the cold heat thingy will do you much good for pack building due to the smallish tip. Heat transfer depends on a large contact area so a big assed flat chisel tip is the best bet. For $5.99, this Hobbico soldering iron will make plenty of heat and the big assed flat tip is perfect for quick heat transfer. Make sure to use rosin core solder and rosin flux paste and you should have no problem at all rebuilding your pack.
