Thanks in advance for any replies.

Yeah solder straight to the motor. Just cut back a little of the rubber sheilding on each of the wires, leaving enough bare wire to fit through the hole and poke out the other side, then tin the wires with some solder, heat up the contact on the motor and push the wire in.
Not sure about voiding the warranty but you should be alright if you use a connector that you cannot reverse the polarity with. But definatly junk the tamiya one as it will just melt together and you will end up cutting it off anyways.
