I just finished soldering on Deans Wet Noodle 12g wire on my mamba max esc.

I did this because the original wires (13g) had torn insulation, heated up pretty good at the end of a run, I'm doing the black/blue theme, the warranty expired earlier this month, and just because I wanted to.

I used just under 2 feet of black wire and about 5 inches of red. It definitely wasn't the easiest thing to do because the esc is a VERY good heat sink....this made in difficult to melt the solder. And yes, the esc still works.

IMO it looks pretty good if you ask me. ;)

This is a comparison pic of the original 13g wire to the now 12g...BEEF lol.

I would be more than happy to do this on other mm esc's....at a small fee (I still have plenty of left over wire)
