The G2 now have user replaceable wires, but make sure you iron is at least 100W or so. The manual suggested a minimum of 60W, I used a Hakko FX888D iron which is 70W and tip temperature of 480c and still struggled with desoldering the stock wires. I literally have to hold the iron on the ESC for 2-3minutes before the solder fully melts and Im able to pull the wires off of the solder post. I managed to remove the stock positive and negative wires from the ESC, but sorta gave up with the phase wires, I got it hot enough so I could reposition the wires towards the motor instead of straight up and stopped at that. The heat dissipation is pretty impressive with this ESC, with all the heat Ive pumped into the ESC, it wasnt as hot as other normal ESC after a rewiring job. Everything powered on just fine, the LCD screen wasnt affected at all with all the heat and worked pretty well out the box according to my friend. Much more smoother, better brakes, and pretty intuitive menu once you get the hang of it.

You should add a lower temp solder that'll mix and make it easier to desolder.
