The advantage of mounting the wires like this apart from looking neat, is two fold. It makes changing motors a breeze without having to re soldier, and secondly it increases the surface area on the posts for the heat to disapate. To solder, just turn the speed controller upside down heat the connector and let the solder flow into the bottom of the female plug and surround the post and fill the groove.

Looks very clean and neat I take it that you change motors frequently to do this as Ive seen many do these types of quick connect for motor changes with different low resistance connectors would usually work but also risk the chance of failing connectors, this I feel is the reason that most would go straight connections thru solder less resistance and lesser connections with less possible fail rates as we all know these buggys take high impact and viabration is extreme.
