Two questions, the step & tupperware

[G-UNIT]

What is the advantage or disadvantages of leveling the steps on the hull, and which ones, front or back or both.
Second, did anyone try to lower the esc and keep the tupperware, how do you disconnect the motor wires, are they connectors under the heat shrink or crimp connecters, i dont't want to cut the heat shrink off till am sure what i'm getting into
