As if it hasn't been said enough....It will run very hot, its a Feigao 8xl, even on a good day they're on the verge of meltdown. Generally an 8xl is a 4s motor and runs hot on that, on 6s a123 I can only imagine how hot it will get, I don't give it long till you get a better motor. At the Very least spend the little extra and get a Medusa.
The stiff wire you got from Home Depot osn't going to be good. All the movement when your running it will wind up braking your solder joints since the wires can't move. As far as wire is concerned, if your trying to get it locally and cheap, go to Walmart. Get a car stereo amp wiring kit, or just get 12gauge speaker wire. With the amp kits you can even get bigger wire if you want, just remember that they don't come with much black wire so you may wind up using red for + and -, in which case make sure to label them!
