Default i think i really screwed up

well when i cut the wires to remove my axle i didn't think much of it cuz i knew they were color coded, but now i'm puting back together and the front has 3 same size black wires! WTF? do i have to tear my other nylint apart and trace these or don't it matter? why make three wires the fugin same?

i figured that much but why 3 of em?
wait... one for the auto-center, one for the motor, one for the steering servo, but that still leaves one, cuz the motor one is the thicker black

if you look at the circuit board where they attach, the three black wires are each grouped with 2 or 3 other colored wires. This was good for me because I left the wires on my axle twisted together like they are stock and so they were in nice groups but if they are just all freyed apart you just need to open up the axle and look at where each wire goes then look at the other wires that go to that same component and you will eventually figure it out.

When I cut, I made sure my 'pairs' were twisted up good and tight, for that reason. Electronics scare me. To many things I can't control.
