Please Help!!
 

I have a HUGE problem. the wire that is attached to intena broke off when i was changing engines. can someone tell me how to fix this possibly without the use of a sodder tool?
please help me

That same thing happened to me...and what i did is I took it down to my local Radio Shack...and they had a solder iron and just fixed it right in the store...if your Radio Shack doesn't have a soldering iron, and you do, look up on the internet on how to solder...then you can do it :D

did it cost any money when you did that?
thanks

Just get a cheap soldering iron kit. It will come in handy for future use.

No it was totally free...

My local Radio Shack has really cool employees...everytime something on it breaks or goes wrong they always fix it or order a new piece free of charge...cool:D

ok thanks...and by the way, how much to soldering kits cost and where can you get them? Lowes? Walmart? Radio Shack?

Yea you can get soldering irons at all of the places you just said...i think they are probably like $15-$20...im not sure....never bought one

thanks a lot

$15-$20 sounds right. soldering irons are really handy, a must have for RC tuning.

How hard is soldering and how do you use it?

Not very hard at all. Plug in or use butane gas. Heat up solder & it "drips" on the item. Then it cools & it is ready to use. It just takes a bit of practice, not much :D

Thanks for the info. What do you mean by it "drips" on the item?

the solder drips onto the area when the soldering iron touches it...solder it kinda like soft metal...image the solder as wax, and the soldering iron like a candle

I think one of the best ways to learn it is by doing it. Try to solder 2 wires together or something like that. It gets easier everytime that you use it.

ya
 

the same problem has happened 2 me...bought lucky im @ my grandparents house 4 thxgivings and he has a Sauderer, im gonna fix it 2 morrow

i got my soldering iron for 3 dollors at best buys and its strong enough to melt the metal that you use to solder things.

Does the wires melt together or is there another substance that makes the wires and what ever else melt together?
:confused:

HA!

That happened to me, and I just took some of the wire insulation off, wrapped the exposed wire around the screw that holds the antenna in, and tightened it. Works fine. :cool:

The wires don't melt together...the solder is what melts and connects the 2 wires

Too bad there isn't anything that can "wield" plastic together... My car's body is shot to **** ....

you could use a lighter, mold it, then sand and paint the body

would that work?
