the shorter the better if you can . it will lower the rescestins. and help with runtime and temp's this is also true on the battery leads . the only wire you dont wont to cut is the anttina

I dont know what you guys do, but I actually extended my antenna wire, now with some piano wire and a bit more rx wire, mines 48" long, it got rid of a lot "noise" I think thats what you'd call it.

but yeah keep the motor wires short, same holds true for the battery wires.

Hi there

everytime you should minimize the lenght of any cables you have in your boat. Simply, by doing this, you minimize the resistance between your motor and ESC. Always try to get them as short as possible.

Even 0.25 meter of 2,5 mm square copper wire makes your motor hotter.

Regards.

Peter
