If you feel a good chunk has been taken out then you can either cut the wire just beyond the damage so the esc side is clean. Strip and add a new length of wire OR the other option is dirty but will work. Strip a few mm of insulator off the conductor at either side of the damage and wrap a thin wire around the damage like a coil band aid. Solder it and cover with heat shrink if you want to take the battery connector off or self amalgamating tape if not.Hi all,
Just cleaning down after a bash with my Typhon 6S and noticed this tear in my ESC/battery cable. Think it might have hit the centre diff cup.
What can I do?? It’s taken a fair chunk out of it!View attachment 100091
Cut it back to where you have complete and clean strands and then solder those two ends together. Slide a piece of shrink tubing down one side before soldering the sections together to cover the splice.Hi all,

They’re certainly powerful enough to destroy themselves given half a chance.You guys are amazing. Thanks.
Going to check my soldering kit and decide which approach to go for.
Can’t get over how powerful these things are. The pinion came loose too and did some impressive damage to the motor slide mount!

Still running? I'd do less. Shrink wrap/electrical tape and run it!? damn Im a total hack when it comes to toys. Shoot when that happens to me all I’d do is strip back the insulation, put a glob of solder over it, and slide some heat shrink over it.
Wouldn’t be surprised if it was still running! And your tactic is even better. But if I care about the ESC I hack it up a little less. If it’s some throwaway low end esc I agree shrinkwrap city.Still running? I'd do less. Shrink wrap/electrical tape and run it!
