Default Lipo wire smaller than ESC wire..problem?

Hope this isn't a noob question, but her goes. I am borrowing a TP 11.1v 3s 1320 mah Lipo from a friend but it has 18g wires to the deans and the MM I have has 13g wires to the dean's. Is this going to be a problem? I don't want to smoke my buddy's battery. I'm sure the MM will be fine though.

It totally depends on what you're using it for. You didnt say what C your battery was, but if we assume 15C, thats ~20 amps max. The Mamba Max can handle 100 amps. If you're using a small motor, it should be fine. If you have a big motor on there, I wouldn't use it.

You'll have no problem with that setup, the batt will be fine.
