I've just bought one of these:-

I was changing the wires on my ESC and the 100w power meant that I only had to hold the iron on for a short period of time so very little heat was transferred into the ESC.

Hi
I have these for sale:
Option 1
http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=150067&highlight=solder+station

This is an excellent iron with readily available replacement tips from Maplin, small enough to fit into your hauler bag, I can do this for £25

Option 2

I feel that this is the better unit with a more sturdy iron, the down side to this one is its a bit bulky to carry in your hauler bag. I can do this one for £35

These are fairly old links so ignore the prices on there and go by the prices that I have quoted here. Both prices include postage, payment is via paypal gift or buyer pays the fees (3.4%)

Regards Sam

If you are serious about soldering and can spend a little more then this is a much cheaper version of the LRP station and it is simple the best I have ever used and I was an electronics engineer using very high-end stations. It laughs at soldering ESC and motors.

I suggest you to visit Best Soldering Iron kit (http://www.bestoninternet.com/compute/electronics/soldering-iron-kit-electronics/). It gives you a good soldering iron. And it helps you. I have purchased one of their product and it works good.
