I actually was wondering if that would be a possibility. The replacement arms come with the three wires hanging out. If I cut the preexisting wires that are already soldered onto the board and then couple/splice them to my new wires, that should work fine? Do you know of a specific brand of wire connector I can purchase? I would only need three. Thanks for replying to my thread.Well, soldering a wire back to a board is not really that difficult. But if you do not feel comfortable with a soldering iron,.....they do make solder-less terminals. You could cut the wire from the board and strip the wire for the new motor and put on a barrel type coupler then crimp the wires together. Soldering would have been the best repair,......but these type of connections are used in millions of applications,....including automotive, industrial, and aeronautical fields.

Awesome. Thanks for the input. I appreciate itAny brand will work. Go to your local hardware store and pick up a package. Important,.....buy the size color appropriate for the wire size. Pink are for small wires, blue for medium size wires and yellow are for larger wires. I am not positive what size these wires are,.....but I am thinking pink will be correct,...certainly no larger than blue. These are pretty cheap and each package should cost you less than $5.00. And yes they will work just fine if installed properly. Because of room in the Mavic,...make sure you stagger where you cut the wires and install the couplers. (One cut a few inches from the board. The next cut an inch or so longer than the first cut,....and the finale cut longer than the second) This way you can tuck in the wires with the connecter without issues. Pay attention to this issue and you should not have any issues. Make sure you have a good crimper available.
Something like these are what you are looking for.

They make another style,....but they take up more room.
Good luck.

View attachment 6882 View attachment 6883 I recently crashed my mavic and my rear left arm cracked open. I have seen replacement arms online, but my question is: Is this something I can fix by myself? This fix would involve taking off the arm (which involves taking off the top shell of the mavic) and then detaching the wires from the inside. Which in pictures appear to be welded on. I will post pictures of the damage and also what I'm referring to about the wiring on the inside. HELP! I really don't want to send it to someone and drop hundreds.
