That sucks. Sorry to see this happen.

How comfortable are you with soldering?

It looks like the wires cleanly snapped off, but it's still salvageable.

Yup took a few minutes and lost the silicone sleeve on one, but back in action. I guess I get a bonus trip to Microcenter tomorrow to buy more wire. I’ll take that as a win.

I pinch the wires with one hand and just use my finger nail/thumb on the other hand to strip these type of small silicone wires for my drones.

I have a tiny little wire stripper (the majestic Radio Shack Leatherman Squirt lol) that I use. Generally effective but this was a real short wire. Also could’ve just been me not paying attention. I looked down and saw copper strands between my fingers and no sleeve in sight. Years of drones ended up saving the day. I found some assorted spare wire from my quads.
