Shortening servo/ESC leads

[andrewc]

Hi all

What's the general consensus here? I'm half decent at soldering.

1 Open ESC/servo and shorten/solder at board

2 Cut wires mid way/shorten/solder/heat-shrink

3 Cut connector off/shorten/crimp new connector on

If it's crimp new connector, any recommendations on a starter set for crimping with tool/connectors included? Loads on the 'bay but never sure on quality.

Any thoughts appreciated, thank you
