Are you referring to the motor/battery wires or the servo/ESC wire?
This is my M-Rage, but I cut the motor wires shorter and soldered it. Also for the servo/ESC wires I coil wrapped it around my screw driver shaft to shorten the overall length. If you are certain you won't be moving the electronics to another car, you can buy pins, connectors, and crimper to shorten the servo/ESC wires for a nice clean finish.

It depends on my tire and suspension setup and course, but I do remember dialing out steering using dual rate on my M05.
