Are there any problems with soldering bullets sideways?

Is there any way that soldering 6.5MM bullets on a motor sideways(so you dont have a giant loop of motor wires) could short from wire to wire, or even cause a Monster to fry?

No issues like that, its just a bit tricky to insultate the plugs & solder joint compared to the normal method of soldering on bullets to wires. You'll either need some stretchy heatshrink tubing, or maybe plasti-dip- cable sleeving and heatshrink tube together would give the most decent insulation and neat finish.

i Didn't think so... what about resistance? would it cause alot of resistance compared to soldered on normally?

You will have no problem with resistance, Tekin RX8 has solder tabs that you can mount the wire to at any angle of your choice. Just drill out the bullets (I would drill out where the solder hole is already) to accept the motor wire and fill the inside with solder.......perfect connection

You can purchase right angled heat shrink if you want that perfect looking connection, we use them at work........here's a link to a site I found quickly online.......

Sweet. Most of the bullets I have (5.5mm) already have a ~2-3mm hole at right angles to the main hole for wire to pass through, so just fill the cup with solder (piece of wood with some holes drilled in it makes a handy jig to hold them steady), feed in the pre-tinned wire, allow the solder to harden, and hey-presto. Use good quailty silver solder or lead-free solder for best results & least resistance. :)

Well, the right angle will cause the electrons to bounce against the back "wall", which could impede other electrons as they are trying to make their way. This "traffic jam" could lead to a bit of heat at that point...
