The box uses a single motor but 2 batteries in series. If I simply remove the yellow series wire and use alligator clips on the red and black wires would that work?

What guage wire should I use for best results?

Any other tips would be good.
I would definitely go the lipo route. However, you are correct in wanting to remove the wire that connects the two connectors (usually yellow) and alligator clips connected to the black and red wires would be correct.
