Tug Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I've split mine too, been that way for ages with no issues. I wouldn't recommend trying to re-solder it yourself. If it bothers you that much, send it to CC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzokajoe Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 you can disassemble the back plate of the motor and solder a New wire directly to the end of the windings in the motor... But i wouldn't bother... Every castle motor i have ever owned has broken insulation right at the base... Just seems to be the way it goes... Especially on the white wire... Usually i heat shrink over the affected area and its good as New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazzaClio Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 what brand is your motor? Neu-Castle 1515 1Y 2200Kv. I agree with the above comments I wouldn't bother just do what Joe has said put a bit of heat shrink over it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corbs10 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 +1 on heatshrink just slide some over the bullet end and put it as close as possible to the plastic block and should be good as new you dont have to cover all of it below the block as the block will do the same job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Garf Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 as you can see the white wire has split but there is already heat shrink on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyronn Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Cut that heat shrink carefully and put some new shrink on and make sure it goes all the way down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revorocks Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 going to send castle a email Why? Just listen to what people are saying on here. It is extremely common and is sorted by putting some heat shrink over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Garf Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 i am listing to what people say but i would like to see what castle say dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Tbh, CC should start using cable with tougher sheathing, the soft stuff feels nice, but in the RC world it just ain't tough enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyProfessor Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 It feels flimsy, feels like its all sheath and no cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suicideneil Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Get some plastidip / liquid tape and paint it over the exposed part of the wire to insulate it. As for using different insulation; then people would complain the wires are too stiff and that they can't route the wires the way they want- you can't win. I think most people are happy with flexible wires & softer insulation- the trick is to plan the layout of your model and rotate the motor so that the wires don;t go through any sharp bends or double-back on themselves to reach the esc, that way the insulation isn't being stretched and won't get worn through. Repeatedly removing the motor and/or swapping it into other models will wear out the insulation much more quickly too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
