i wouldn't get a "gun" type..get an iron. sharper point for those tiny connections on motors and switches.

:thumbsup: I got my iron at radio shack, i think it was 15 bucks it came with a stand, a heatsink, solder, and a few other little bits. Great deal, i havent had to replace my point yet but i might soon.

yea, that's what i use..15/30 watt, you dont need anything major..a basic iron will do just fine.

you can solder brass and stuff to...

For electronics I use a 10/20 watt soldering iron...no gun. For "welding" brass together a 50 or higher watt.
