Boom Racing KUDU Multifunctional Soldering Jig

Boom Racing have released this KUDU Multifunctional Soldering Jig. Designed from the ground up the jig is a beautifully crafted high-end billet aluminium and steel tool set for your R/C applications. Being an R/C car manufacturer and hobbyists themselves, they solder many things on a consistent basis with one of the frequent pain points while soldering wires is not having a motor stand with the soldering jig. Having the motor roll around while soldering can be a time-consuming and unpleasant experience. Speaking to other hobbyists they found that they too experience the same issues so went about gathering their requirements and expectations to design an all-in-one solution. The jig is ideal for soldering all types of R/C connectors, especially for R/C cars with the built-in steel electric motor stand. It works with many of the common types of R/C connectors and gives you the freedom to move to get the best soldering angles, with a sturdy base and compact design.
