I need a solder Iron? which one is the right one for rc racers

I love the Hakko 936, The 60W heater element acts like a 100W element on some irons because the heater is located inside the tip, not 3" away on some other brands. The unit also have adjustible temp. This is great for saving the tip and preventing a bad solder job with too hot of an iron that burns the flux and the solder. Another great feature is the stainless steel tips, they last about 100X long than the normal copper tips that need tinned.


When you order get the right tips. I use: 900M T4C and 900M S3.

The TC4 tip is a 45 degree bevel tip great for getting your iron out of the way of melting things on your car..

The S3 tip is a 5.2mm chisel tip that provides lots of surface area to melt solder.

Ditto what trailranger said!

The Hakko is the way to go!

Hako is the only choice. 5.2 m tip too!!!
