Traxxas Slash HELP!
Hey RC Tech,
I was out running my Slash and it just cut off when I jumped a curb.
So, I took off the body to see what the problem was and I figured out that the '+' and '-' wire has been seperated.
I attatched some photos of it to show how it's been seperated.
Now, how hard is it to just buy a new wire and attatch them?
And what exactly do I have to buy?
Any help would be appreciated, THANK YOU!!

Bad solder joint. Grab your soldering iron and reattach it.

in the second pic, is that neg wire separated inside?
for the deans;
clean the solder from the deans plug, grab a metal file (or dremel with sanding drum) scuff up where your going to resolder, blow off, rubbing alcohol and a q-tip, clean it, let dry, re-tin, re-solder! i do this to ensure the solder has something to grab onto, also i flatten the wires a bit so the solder flows through easier.
