Re: Broken FP wire leads

I have soldered new connections on to banebots motors that had this happen to them, but I would really only recommend that if it is a temporary fix while waiting for a new motor. It is also possible to remove the back plate and put new wire leads in, then carefully reassemble the motor (we did this while at one of the tournaments last year). Again, I would only recommend either of these if its a dire situation when there isn't time to get a new motor.
