dumb move, wire cut

dscottj · 05-09-2012, 08:53 AM

I got careless long ago snipping zip ties and accidentally cut one of the wires to my tail servo, very close to the servo body. The mechanical splice I made came loose without even flying it, so I'm wondering if it's possible to just order a new wire set for it? Any links on how to replace that?

Don't worry, I already broke the stick you'd use to beat me on my own head

You can resolder them onto the servo board. There small, but not that tough. Tin the wire before attempting to solder it to board, then a quick touch with iron and shes good to go

You can buy leads with plugs on them or even buy an extension lead and cut the female plug off the end. You can usually pop the bottom off the servo to access where the lead is soldered onto the board and replace it. BUT I would not try this unless you have the right soldering gear and experience.
