I have this :

Awesome iron covers most popular tasks although i would buy a larger tip for motors and esc's. Heats up mega fast and holds the heat really well.

I have used a variety of irons over the past few years and the LRP iron is one of my favourites although £200 is a little steep for hobby use.

I would read this post from Rctech as well as this has helped me a massive amount.
