Default Solder or Bullet connectors, Advice?

Why do I keep buying crap from ebay! It's more stress that the money saved.

I have recently got a Novak GTB esc and Novak 13.5 turn brushless motor.

The problem is the ABC motor wires are to short and need to be extended.

I have tried to unsolder the wires from the PCB and replace but the soolder seems to have higher melting point than my 60 watt iron can produce.

My only other options are.

Slodering the wires together or use bullet connecters?

Any advice?

An agnostic amen to that! Hence I don't bother buying anything for serious use from there. Rarely buy anything second-hand in fact because it normally needs money spent on it. Of course, all the stuff I sell is mint!

Solder a new, longer length on. Less loss than connectors.

So soldering is the way to go!

So twist the wires together, solder and cover with heat shrink.

thanks for the advice
