Default Hey Traxxas VXL guys...

Was out bashing my vintage Tamiya truck last nightand was having a BLAST!!!! Tweaking and tunnimg this timless gem when the truck would just go dead. It has a VXL ESC. Took it inside and come to find out one of the batt wires....looks to have broken off inside the case. Tried to take it apart....and the posts are not available.....just looks to bethree capps....or somthing.Anybody ever had that happen? Is it fixable? Talkin bout disapointed......

I'd get rid of the VXL esc. Used to have one and fried it, switched to a castle sidewinder and am much happier with it. More tuning can be done and the low voltage shut off is set less conservatively I believe because my run times have increased by a fair amount since switching over.
