Try to solder to black power wire which is on opposite side of ESC, but do not try solder to pcb unless you confident with your soldering skills. I would recommend to strip wire and solder far from ESC and heatshrink or tape it.

took the shrink wrap off because I thought I was going to have to solder it back on...already wishing I didn't take it off

So should I solder it to where the black wire is soldered to the esc?

Strip wire where white arrow points and solder there, it would be hard to solder directly to pcb.

-or if it helps try to solder to the brown wire (blue arrow) from 3-pin rx-cable, same ground reference.

Awesome...thanks man. I will do that tomorrow and let you know if that solves the problem

sorry, one more question...what's the best way to strip the wire in the middle like I need to?

Razor blade, two round cuts and one longitude cut.

well it appears the other jumper has come un-soldered aswell

Since the first one is going to the black battery lead does that mean the other one can go to the red battery lead?

Hold on!
What other jumper???
Do not apply any power before attaching picture. Do not solder in random order.

the red one that isn't being pointed to in this picture has now come un-soldered
