Mamba Max on/off problem - 04.13.2008, 03:41 PM

I was runnin' the Mamba Max in the Rustler and didn't nail the ESC down quite good enough. So, after a quite large jump, the ESC gets knocked out of the car and its hanging out the side of the car close to the ground . I didn't notice this and proceeded as normal to speed towards the next jump. As soon as it hits the jump the vehicle shuts down and refuses to turn back on. The ESC will link up to Castle Link and will arm when a receiver pack is plugged into it (motor will not run because the ESC isn't really "on"), the on/off circuit somewhere in the copper traces appears to have been disconnected. Yes, I took off the lame switch and the wires are twisted together. If it's not too hard to fix, I wouldn't mind someone showing me how to find the problem and solder it back together or something.
