RE: wire resistance
I wouldn't bother replacing the wires. If you are drawing close to the ESC limit, it may be best to buy a higher amp ESC instead and save the Pixie-7 for another model.
If you think that the ESC wires are small, look at the motor windings. This is where the heat problems become significant.
