Yes, they would use a 30+ gauge wire and just wind them in a bundle... obvious reason being you can't wind 12awg or 10awg thick wires around a stator, at least not safely (damaging wire insulation).

This makes me ask the question, the people who have had problems with breaking motor wire leads, what Kv. winds were they? I can see the high Kv. winds having the problems... my 1512/3D has had zero issues with wire breakage and I have moved, readjusted, kinked the leads many times. They look to me like they would be about 12awg wire size equivalent.
