Hobbywing XR10 Stock Spec 80A wiring

Just after some advice please. I have purchased a Hobbywing XR10 Stock Spec 80A ESC and am wondering if anyone has replaced the power wiring. I am considering swapping the original 14aw wiring with 12aw due to the lower resistance. Will this give a small performance increase or am I wasting my time??

It won’t fit. The soldering post on the xr10 stock spec is way smaller than the xr10 160amp version. I was able to solder 13 gauge wire on my stock spec but that was already really pushing it.

Yea absolutely no reason to run that size wire with what that esc is able to deliver . You have to remember the esc delivers A/C current to the motor . Now your battery to esc wires could stand to be larger in some situations but if they are not getting hot it still wouldnt benefit

I do the opposite personally, I remove the factory wire and replace it with TQ 16ga. No power loss but it allows the pod on a 12th scale to move very free.
