Woke up this morning and accomplished the soldering of some wires on the ESC. When I purchased this used on eBay the red wire had come undone. I had soldered some slot car wires before but not any type of RC stuff. If it didn’t work, I was still in the same situation that I was going to have to buy a new one.
It was really hard to see the wire because it was right inside that cap piece. I don’t know much about electronics at all but I’m assuming it’s a capacitor.
My basic knowledge is just to make sure that the two wires don’t touch for any reason; that’s exactly what I focused on. I made sure to put some red covering over it to protect the wires when I was done. I believe it turned out pretty well. The true test will be when I try to run the ESC for the first time.
