seriously only needed a half inch. If I would have propped my esc on a spacer or something, I wouldnt have needed any additional wire.
Cool I will make up 3 jumpers about 1 1/2 - 2 long with a new esc side plug on them, to have them ready for when i mount the motor . Then i will trim them to the proper length when i solder the wires together . Im bored & looking for something to do .
