Maybe I could get some advice on my CRC Xti?

I want to shorten the servo and ESC leads to the receiver, maybe twist them? What about the sensor wire and motor leads, sleeve them? I'm using 16AWG to the motor but it looks big compared to some of the stuff some of you are using. Can I go smaller or is that just for pics? The motor is a 13.5 Reedy.

one, use smaller wire, 18 gauge, and a little more than you have, looks almost like your binding the rear pod the wires are so tight. get some here... TQ Wire

two, GET THIS and then you'll need a bag of these, and now you have the tools required to shorten you servo leads WITHOUT soldering servo line on your servo or esc which requires a very gentle hand
