Re: Broken parts

Opening the case will void the warranty. If you can afford the $150 to send the thing back and get it fixed properly, by all means do so. It'll be less hassle at this point in the game, and no risk! We've gone this way before.

However, I do know that teams have repaired this port in the past, and the internals of the RC make it relatively easy to do so. But, it will be nearly impossible to attach it in the original fashion- teams typically just run a little cable out and let it flop.

Warning- I don't know how well the team repaired Rc's pass inspection. That could be an issue later on.
