Replacing bullets on leopard 4082

[Jabbo]

I just got a leopard 4082 2200kv and want to put 5.5 bullet conectors on it. Can I just cut off the old ones or do I need to unsolder them. The wires coming out are flexible so I don't think they are part of the windings.
Thanks for the help.

whats a winding? I had to trim the wires on my ESC so have I damaged it?

The windings are the wires in the motor and on some motors they come out and are used as the leads to the motor. They have a special coating on them and you can't solder to them. You should be ok with shortening your esc wires.
