cut the red wire out of the esc's connector

you do not need to cut the wire. you remove the lead from the rx connector and tape it off, that way you can always hook it back up :yes:

for some reason everytime i try and remove it the wire rips out of the lead lol.

lol well i know it's the ESC becouse i'd try to run it and the ESC would be hot enough to burn me in only like 3-5 mins. Usually the motor gets hotter than the ESC

got ESC back and FLM bulks installed!
