connection options between brushless ESC and Motor?

[heinzeman]

Hi,

I have been tidying up the electronics in my car as my ESC and Motor were connected by VERY long wires!

At the moment, I have detached the wires at the Motor, cut the wires to a shorter length and then re-soldered them at the motor.

However, I find it strange that the ESC and Motor are permanently connected (soldered together). Is this normal with today's RC equipment?

Or does anyone have any other suggestion that works well? e.g. cliping the wires to the Motor, or particular connector blocks to join the wires in the middle?

I don't want to experiement just in case this is a no-no for any reason?!!
