Relativenewbyseb Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 If you were accepting having to get a new esc you might aswell repair that one yourself, surely you can either remove or cut the casing and resolder. .. Also how did you manage that, wire must have been reasonably well tugged for that to happen, or too hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersavage Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Just gat back from a quick shakedown. First impressions are good however the stock servo is terrible (wasn't expecting it to be great) and my ESC was flapping around so I have just stuck it down again hopefully I've done a better job than HPI. The stock tyres seem pretty decent as well. Just got to wait for my 3s lipos to turn now. Unfortunately I didn't get any pics as I was waiting to see what else HPI failed to secure.

Relativenewbyseb Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Yeah I guess he removed the battery by just yanking it then not holding the connectors.... What I'm saying is if you're accepting it as dead then you might aswell cut the casing away , if not ill have it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) It's worth trying to repair however with it being the positive connection if the fix doesn't hold it could come apart again and short on something then you could have a lipo fire on your hands, not really worth the agro for the sake of new esc.

Goldigger Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Errr can't believe it, Is this repairable ? Can someone please help me I'd try two ways of repairing that.. Solder pin in the hole, you would need to drill a tiny hole to insert it.. Or screw in a threaded ferrel in the hole, then fill full of solder and insert the wire.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
