Yes, I have done alot of wire stripping (enamel) in my days. Mostly for tesla coil projects.

There would be no way to properly strip all the insulation off like you guys said. The liquid solution sounds scary as it probably WOULD wick into the motor windings! :019:

BTW, does anyone HAVE a fried 540C version motor that they could see how far the wire is actually stripped and soldered? If it is soldered just after the shrink tubing that covers all three wires, that is actually where I would like to solder it to the esc. Again, I just don't know if when the motor gets to 180F (does the 540C version get this hot?), if too much heat will leach into the esc, and IF a good heatsink will be able to handle it?
