Esc wire broke!

[Dmkkings]

My red Esc wire has been severd in two on both my arma typhoon 6s BLX By. It gas happened after only running a couple of batteries through both of them! Someone said that the wire is getting caught in my drive shaft but it is now where near it! Any suggestions!

Yeah, I gathered that from your other post that says the same exact thing. Need pics to see exactly what the problem is. Like how the wire is broken and where.

Yeah pictures will definitely help. To see how and where it happened. Do you due your own soldering?

Dam man sorry to hear that. You should have soldered and heat shrinked the wires... glad you got it fixed man

The servo arm keeps breaking the wirer there is not much room between the two on the typhoon so I will just have to pull the wirer back out of the way some how I am new to this hole rc thing!

Actually its not fixed it just cut the wire off and running it anyways. So after all that I get my slash 2 wheel drive back together with the low cg chassi and its is still chewing up the plastic gears in the traxxas servos! I am about ready two throw all my poop away and give up the hobbie! The hobbie is expensive and struggling! Love the hobby but at the same time dam! It sucks because I don't know anybody that is near ne to help! I usually just by a new car instead of repairing it because they hole tear down and rebuilding is very intimidating to me! Anyways so for the storie, thanks for the ear!

Not hard at all bud. They should just unscrew. Take off the rc hold the body of shock what the spring goes over. Might need adjustable wrench. Stick a screwdriver there hole in cap. Then unscrew it. Watch you don't spill oil. Or you will need some more. And out new cap on.. put back on RC

"Subliminal message on" you know rock crawlers are cool and don't have these problems, all of the cool kids have one. "Subliminal message off" sorry to hear about your wire issues, is there enough room to zip tie them out of the way? Believe me, we understand the frustration. Hang in there.

 

[Greywolf74]

Do you have the exploded views from the manuals that shows how everything connects together? That makes taking things apart and putting them back together easier. Its kinda like a road map to follow. Like the others have said a ziptie or 3 will take care of the wiring problem and you need to get some metal geared servos. Pretty much all stock servos are cheap pieces of crap that have to be replaced at some point.

Just in case you do give up Ill gladly take your rigs off your hands
