RE: wire curl
Are you talking about things like 3-conductor servo leads? I just wrap them around a small screwdriver shaft, making sure that the wire is wrapped straight and tight, and while holding it in place, blow a heat gun (or hair dryer) on it. No risk of melting the insulation, and it turns out perfectly coiled every time!

RE: wire curl
That happened to my bolink yesterday. I was driving around in the parking lot, hit a bigbump, and apperently it let loose and got dragged for about 5 minutes. Now my receiver has got road rash LOL.
