SOB! Did I ruin my MMM Castle?
 
Ok, I feel like a complete and utter nimrod today after I got back from my bash session. I was cleaning my Flux when I took off the RX cover and I about fainted when I saw. I had pinched the wiring from the ESC between the chassis and the cover. :gasp: Luckily, it looks like it only went through the outer coating and my Flux drove fine with no issues that I could tell and I was able to connect to my Castle Creations link with no issues, but i'm still worried that I might have ruined my expensive ESC as a result of my stupidity :cry:

Any suggestions Castle or am I farked? I put some electric tape over it and ran software updates on the CC link and doesn't seem to have a problem, but im still concerned....

I would put a little hot glue on the wire to protect the strands. And don't do that again!

Think your over reacting a bit. You can do what linc said or take a small portion of the wire out and resolder it with heatshrink and everything.

Not that one - it would have to go back through HPI...............but there's nothing wrong with it.

Pull the wires apart from each other and fold a bit of electrical tape around the individual damaged areas, then wrap more tape (or heatshrink) around the whole section of cable.
