The Only way I have found to make it work properly is to remove some material from the connector to allow the lexan to be attached and not allow for any additional width so it will fit into the socket.
Not all that hard, but you have to play with it. so take one of your broken ones and try with that first. then continue. you may have to sand down the finished connector some to get it to fit.
yeah, I grab the wires close to the connector and gently wiggle it out. I know that is stressing then and I need to cut back on motor swaping, lol. I put a new one in my kids car and she broke 4 of the wires in the main. luckily the HW esc's dont stop when the wires break, lol. I love the instant switch to sensorless. Helps reduce the DNF's. But her wires were not secured will and were very stiff. I am gonna stick with the tq flat wire for now and try to reduce taking my motor and esc out so much.
