    Lipo & esc wire length

    I know wires should be as short as possible, In my case i have a 15" mini mono that runs 3s 60c & 42000rpm unloaded at around 50mph on octura metal x435. So its quite a hot set up. Will it make a difference using shorter wire on lipo & esc bearing in mind because every thing is so close together because of its small size. Lipo wires are 4.25" but i could reduce them to 2" or is that not worth shortening. Thanks Martin.

      You can shorten the battery wires but NOT the motor wires.

        Yes i wouldnt shorten motor leads as most know the reasons not to do that, But didnt know whether shortening the battery wires 50% would make any difference as their only just over 4" to start with. Martin.

          you honestly won't see any difference in this setup
          but having bullet connectors and great solder joints you will notice a difference as those will have lower resistance
