I was going to stay silent but i have actually cut the leads down on two of my motors just using sand paper. It was my only option in order to get the motors to fit properly. One was a feigao 380c 9t, which ran the same before and after the operation, the other was a kontronik twist motor that already had a slight defect where the coils were touching the rotor, and you had to pull on the wires to prevent it. Cutting the wires down only made the problem worse. Through my experience, I would not recommend cutting down this type of wire unless you absolutely have to. FYI it is really a pain to get solder to stick to the thick copper strands, and there is every possibility that you will hurt performance while nothing you do can improve performance. Thats what matters right?
