Thank you for the link I will check it out. I was kinda wondering if u could actually cut the wires and soldern them or use butt connectors and it would be ok?

you can do that. cut and solder the wire would be decent but you wont be able to bend the wire where you soldered it. if you want to use butt connectors just get the extension wires. in my opinion the extension wires are the best/easy way to go, i have seen a certain someone on here actually open up the servo and resolder new wires to it that were to the length of his liking.

The best way is a short servo extension led.

^^^ Thanks....I have some leftovers from those.

Would still rather use a servo extension - I even use an extension for turning the BEC off in my MM so I don't have to pull the power led out of the Mamba's connection.
