The female plug will go on the battery, and the male will go on the ESC. I had a How to solder video at one time, but I cant' find it on youtube. I will see if I can edit the video adn reupload it. it's pretty old, so not the best quality, but it should help you out in soldering it. Let me see if I can get that video edited and uploaded.

What battery is that? You didn't mention a battery above that I could see.
Here is the how to solder thread. This video was created back in July 2010, but all of the info is there, I just don't talk as fast in this one lol.

what happens if you dont put shrink wrap on the battary, where it connects to the dean plug

Honestly, I can't imagine that the shrink wrap is 100% necessary. You could probably get away with wrapping the soldered joints with electrical tape, but be sure to wrap the soldered joints with something. The shrink wrap or tape is there to prevent the two battery leads from arching and causing a short, therefore damaging the battery or causing a fire or whatever. The shrink wrap is just a "clean" way to cover the leads. You should be able to find shrink wrap nearly anywhere and it's not that expensive at all.

Boom! JK you wouldn't want to risk anything. just go get some at your local hardware store. i have had the two leads touch. lucky me no fire but it did sure unsolder the wire quicker than i soldered it and with a spark. LOL
