Reconnecting some snapped wires

[Vicissitude]

Last night when i was taking apart my quadcopter i pulled a motor out a little harder than i should have, the wires snapped in half. I dont have any electrical tape so i was going to splice them together and put at little hot glue over it to seal the wire. Good idea or no?

Not unless you are soldering them. Twisting can come loose and you don't want to loose a motor in flight. Hot glue can work as an insulator though

I dont really have any soldering or an iron. I figured hot glue would do well because it would keep it anchored well.

It's up to you but if the wires get hot and the glue comes loose....
Just saying, brother. I'd hate to see you loose the multi over a wire...

Yeah ill have to either find some soldering in the garage or just buy a new motor then.

I just wouldn't trust hot glue alone for the connection, that's all...let us know how it goes!
