Default ESC switch, the cables came loose, how should I fix?

I was jumping my SC10 and my ESC came loose, causing one of the cables on the switch which was glued to the chassis to break leaving bare wire inside of it and bare wire attached to the ESC itself. I have no clue how to fix this. I have this ESC if it helps any.



Sorry if my camera couldn't capture in complete high definition, it is rather small.

rip off the switch completely, and connect the 2 wires wrap with electrical tape fixed permanently

be careful your RC will turn on the second you plug the battery in

I'd rather not do that lol, I kinda like control of my car with the battery in it since I run hard case lipos that need the wires plugged into them which is a pain with out a switch :c

could just go buy a cheap SPST switch from radio shack and replace it. Either get one and solder it on or see if they have one with screw terminals

Thanks for the help SyCo_VeNoM, although what I ended up doing since there is bare wire in the switch I just glued it back in with super glue so the wire stays touching.
