Default Castle-Reedy question

I have a new to me MMP with a Reedy motor, the Esc takes 4mm bullets the motor has 3.5 mm bullets. What's the easiest way to make this work? I've tried soldering bullets to a BL motor before with no luck. Do I change the 4mm on the Esc to 3.5? Can I make some sort of adapter between the two? Thanks Kelly

You wouldn't change the connectors on the ESC that will unnecessarily toss your warranty out the window. It would be much easier to install the proper size male connectors on the motor leads. Or if you don't want to do that make a quick short adapter with male for the ESC and female for the motor.

The motor should be quite easy to work on, either adding new leads to solder tabs if equipped or replacing existing bullets.
