I suspect you’re right. When I tried to cut off the heat shrink the joint just fell apart. Bugger! I thought I’d done a reasonable job but clearly not :sleepy:

Does the female end look clean enough to re-use or should I replace that too?

Try to pull them off the wire. If you cannot pull them off, they might be okay. If you can pull it off the wire with your hands, then it’s no good.

OK. Thanks heaps. I think it’s time I purchase a decent iron. Or maybe I’m just lacking in skills haha.

Sad thing is I have read this thread before and did a lot right. But I’ll use this thread to get info on best soldering irons. Cheers

Having issues finding 200mm-2??mm hangers for my first build. I have 6374 motors, have evolve pneumatic 7" tires, and a drop through deck. Made some orders from several different companies but all are about a month out. Is there any good vendors in the States that have them in stock? Basically the last part needed for my build and it’s frustrating :triumph:

Wait, @3DServisas sells hangers for heXL baseplates? I didn’t know they had any TKP stuff :open_mouth:

I try to limit myself from buying their products because they’re expensive, but their parts are consistently being used by builders here because they’re some high quality shit. I normally just buy them used from another builder like the little cheap slut I am

THEY ARE. I only made the distinction because Surf Rodz has both style of trucks. And they’re both very very sexy. Multiple color options and you can have a label or your name on them :sunglasses:

But it is a pain to deal with the shoulder bolts. God is it a pain. Luckily a few people on this forum have eliminated those issues entirely

Edit: oh. Yes. fleXLs are TKP
