Bill,
I have a removable motor so I can replace it in a few seconds. For htis reason, I can't solder the motor leads together to eliminate the connectors. It's a very good idea though.
In the same vein, I have another question. I have 2 Kokam 1500 mAh batteries in 3S2P configuration, but the leads from those batteries are 10 inches long. They 're actually too long. Would shortenning them to about 5 inches save on current or cut down on resistance?
