I have always preferred to cut my servo wires to length after installing all of the electronics in my RC cars. I like the wiring tidy. the first time i did this i simply cut out center of the wiring harness and soldered and heat shrinked the two ends together. That still does not look as neat as it could. So the next time i needed to do this i cut the wire to the length needed and crimped on new terminals. not having the proper crimping tool i applied solder to ensure a good connection, but excess solder makes it difficult to reinstall the terminals into the connector. i see a third way, unsoldering the wires from the circuit board inside the servo, cutting the harness to length and resoldering the wires back to the circuit board. Has anyone done it this way? or will i fry the circuit board with the heat from the iron? the servo i want to attempt this on is a brand new Hitec HS-5965MG.
