i would remove the plastic ( via dremel ) so that you could work on removing one soldered joint at a time.

No need, once they get hot the bullet can spin loose, you cab heat one side then rotate it out of contact

nice could I heat up the bullet from the outside/inside the housing? That should work right?
Yeah, but to get enough thermal transfer it would require some solder, you’ll loose the connector

Does using 2 loopkeys make it twice as safe? (Battery connection lead is too short so I’m using a series connector and a fused key to bridge the gap 
It’s science day!
I thought it was standard practice to have the loop key on the + wire?

Ehh, I didn’t make these, came with the board
The esc enclosure and battery box had Velcro on the bottom and the loop key was on the negative and I haven’t gotten around to fixing it…I just wanna ride

Pretty sure the loopkey goes on the negative no?
I got a loopkey form @PixelatedPolyeurthan today and it was on the negative (thanks for that)

Can anyone help I’m trying to connect through bluetooth with my vesc on win 10. I can connect on the mobile device but it doesnt show up in win 10 with the desktop tool
Is it supposed to be crazy hard to get this thing off? I removed the housing because the bullet wouldnt heat up enough, but now I can directly hold my iron in front of the joint forever and it still wont come off! It’s crazy, the heatsink of the VESC is heating up like crazy but the bullet wont come off, is there a risk of getting the internals of the VESC too heated up?? I feel like I’m gonna fry this thing trying to get this off!
What wattage is the iron? Are you using more flux or solder on the joint?
It’s a 60W iron, I also have a PACE HW100. I’m actually not using any flux or solder, just holding the iron up against the bullet right next the joint in hopes of heating it up to where it’’ come loose
You need some solder otherwise the iron will not conduct the heat
