Default making the wires shorter

so I got my sidewinder in my tuber and I'm in the process of wiring it up but I wanted to know if it would hurt anything if I cut off the motor connectors that cc put on and put on my own connectors? thanks.

I wouldn't mess with the white wire. Eflight make some real nice 3.5 mm bullet connectors that you can put on the esc and motor wires.

Default the wires

i just straight connect mine to my motor, but i heat them and put a heat tube over them. better power and no chance of wires falling apart.

Hey if you throw it in a box can you put my addy out on the outside and drop it off at UPS? LOL... Cutting the white wire is fine. Its the signal wire for brushless motors. Those E-Flite 3.5mm connectors are really nice. I use them on a bunch of my stuff...
