Shorten ESC Wires????????

[atsang]

Hi guys... Quick question...

for ages if needed ive cut or shortened the wires that come from the esc to the motor to make things more tidy within the car...

BUT...

was in my local model shop and we got onto talking about this and they said don't shorten them as it effects the motors performance???

IS THIS TRUE???

i dont understand this as i've studied electrical engineering and as far as i can figure out shorter wires = less resistance = more power going to the motor... i know that you'll never notice this small increase in power but i was then looking into how a brushless motor works and still i couldn't come to a conclusion on how shortening the wires effects the performance and again looking through the internet there are mixed results...

DOES ANYONE HAVE A DEFINITE CONCLUSION????
