Bob's Electical woes...

[QuarterMaster]

Soldering just might be the root cause, especially stuff coming in from customers.

Why Soldering Wire is a Very Bad Idea

I crimp where possible, WEGO connectors or similar for PWR/GND buss's.

To save space, I pull the plastic insulator off the appropriately sized butt splice's, crimp with a non-insulation Terminal crimper, and use Moisture proof Heat shrink instead.
For the record, that includes the combo solder heat shrink splices Bob loves....yuckie!

Non-wet crimping. In this case to reduce all the loose 'spaghetti' within the dry spaces.

Either method will cause problems if done incorrectly.

Either method will work just fine when done correctly.

As per the old maxim, a poor craftsman blames his tools.

Soldering is not to blame for much of what I see in RC boats I have repaired or Bob has had to repair, lack of skill and some poor equipment choices are the problem. Aircraft, motor vehicles, and yes, even submarines are full of solder joints. The trick is to use proper tools and learn the art.
