How to solder RC plugs - this is something everyone in the hobby should know how to do. It is VERY liberating!
No more worrying about adapters. No more worrying about what plug is on the battery you are purchasing. No more taking your electronics to your buddies house to get worked on. No more paying the hobby shop to solder your new ESC and motor.

Soldering can be intimidating at first. Things are hot, you have to hold multiple items, risk of spark, etc. BUT - once you do it a little bit, you will find it is very easy - and wonder why you never did it sooner!
