Im replacing two of my motors on my P3P. I was wondering if there is a tutorial on how to properly solder them in.
Thanks

I didn't find any tutorials on how to solder it. Many on opening the shell, this guy shows how he does it, which is how I did it.
Basically, heat up the cold solder on the board until liquid, gently pull out the old wire. Repeat three times. Good idea to tin up your new motor wires, the heat the solder spots in the board and go to work. It was really easy. Just go slow.

Fascinating video. It's still a best practice. Lead optional, I guess.The best How To soldering guide out there, comes from PACE video series. You will have a deep understanding about soldering. And buy a decent soldering gun. Most newbies on soldering do the same mistake : Too small soldering gun and very thin soldering tip and you start overheating the board.
Those should work well. You are probably better off without quick disconnect terminals (one more place for trouble). I like the heat shrink/waterproof design. Use a good crimper and you done.Thank you everyone for you help. I think I'm going to hold off on making this my first attempt at soldering and just crimp the wires together. These look like they will do the trick:

Not sure if I agree. The world is full of splices and terminals-including DJI devices. Anything can fail, including solder joints on a board. A nicely crimped butt splice terminal under heat shrink tubing should do fine. IMOI realize that. the OP needs to step out of that comfort zone to do an effective repair, or let someone else do it. It's easy to get some wire and practice soldering them together before doing the bird.
If Mack is afraid to work on the board, as am I, and you believe current and vibration could be an issue, then surely a soldered twisted splice under heat shrink will be as good as soldering directly to the board. Although, I've never had a problem with a good crimper and butt splice. There's plenty of contact area.The OP asked about soldering. Sure, one can crimp things together, but where there is high current and vibration involved, not to mention a component (motor) that is critical to flight, soldering is the only way I would effect this repair.
Sorry, I'm probably not helping your situation any.Appreciate all the advice. Feeling a bit conflicted.

My comfort level decreases proportional to the price of the board. How much is that board? I also worry more when it's resoldering vs new work.
Crimp and/or solder the wires together and there's no worries. IMO
Did you solder it to the board or splice?Try the splice first, if no go, solder to the board. This was the second thing I've soldered in 4 years, it was very easy imo.
