Holy moly...

You could look at it the other way, and see it as paying $12 for the insurance, knowing you did not end up soldering one dean backwards and causing a dead speed controller. And for someone who needs to do so at a race track, and doesnt have the access to a soldering iron, it could very well be a lifesaver

Or you could very well use one that you bought on line and do exactly the same thing, only with no recourse once the ESC is fried, because there is no way any of the R/C sales businesses is going to admit that kind of mistake on their part, and I have seen it happen. Beside working on R/C is just like being a carpenter. Measure twice, cut once. Thats why if you are smart you check and doublecheck your own work to make sure you did it right. I've made TRX series and parallel harnesses myself, and have never seen them before, but what I have made is top quality and I know they will last. Lets be honest here this stuff is not rocket science. R/C is pretty basic engineering.

I think for most of us, we've soldered enough to know that horizontal is - and vertical is +.
