So, there's nothing left of either wire, nothing you can attach more wire to so you can solder them together?


BTW, it's $95 for both the combo- esc and motor. The flat rate repair for just the esc is $50.

That sucks, send it back for repair. It might not cost you the full replacement price. Castle's customer support is great. Heck..They might just soilder a switch on and charge you $20 for shipping, labor and the $1 switch!

Don't think you have any options other than to send it back in. Their boards are hard to solder on especially if you're not experienced in electronics work.
