Can someone post the solder type that you are using to solder the motor wires? Such as what kind of type and watt? Thank you!

I did my soldering with 100w soldering gun, although with replaced tip (original was too thick and too slow, replaced with custom made out of wire). nevertheles, it was painfull, it got too hot in too short time...

The type of solder isn't that important for something like this. I use 60/40 solder. The lead free type works too but generally has a higher melting point. There's also rosin flux core solder which can make soldering a lot easier.

Thanks for the information

I am not a fan of the lead free stuff. If your in the UK its pritty much banned but you can get it on ebay.

Did mine with a cheap 15w soldering iron (just took a little longer to heat the metal with the tip), standard 60/40 solder and a bit of resin. Simply coat the wires and continue like in the assembly video.
