Broke one of the wires from the BLX 100 ESC to battery today. Is this fixable? Do I need to solder?

Jumping. Most likely the battery popping out yanked the wire. Need to find a solution for the battery popping out. It eventually pops the velcro straps even when landing everything on the wheels. I think just longer velcro straps will help.How did that happen?
Horizon has been very good in the past about providing warranty even for crash damage. Probably why the cost of the vehicles keep going up ?Hopefully covered under warranty.
Don't know how to solder, but I may try. Learning to solder looks like a good idea going forward with the hobby. But waiting to hear from Horizon first, I don't want to void the warranty by messing with it.I would attempt it regardless. You would have to wait on the new one anyways. I would put a shrink tube as close to the esc as possible and then twist the wire and then tin it and solder on a new wire. Its worth a shot and you may not have to order a new one.
Should be relatively easy depending on how they sealed the esc. You'll need to desolder the ripped wire from the esc and replace it.Broke one of the wires from the BLX 100 ESC to battery today. Is this fixable? Do I need to solder?View attachment 93455
Wait... these come with a warrantee?
This is the other side with the wire cover off. How the hell? Both sides are secure. The wire just completely came apart. I use plenty of slack while driving.Would be nice to see the other side of the ESC but i would say it is repairable. Try the warranty, but repair this one too.
It wont if its not solderedWell, it's working again. Just braided the two ends and wrapped it in electrical tape. We'll see if it holds.
