Kraton Cutting/soldering esc & servo wire

[Asus127]

Has anyone cut these and made them shorter? Bit of a pain getting them back into its little house

Yes indeed.

However, it’ll almost always void any warranty if you have an issue down the road. Also most quality manufacturers coat their boards, making it a royal PITA to desolder, clean, and resolver the right way.. You can also “de-pin” the connector, shorten the wires, and install a new connector provided you’re fluent in doing that kind of work. My servo’s and ESC’s last long enough that they tend to move around between vehicles over time, so I prefer to neatly coil up the excess, secure with 2-3 small T&B Ty-raps, and then install the Rx. I also cut out a piece of 3/8”ish black foam for the bottom, and lid of the Rx box, so that it’s protected, and not slamming around in there. Has worked great for me over the last 35yrs..

I was going to suggest my custom ESR that'll extend the receiver box volume..
But I didn't make it for the Older style.

Never thought about that. Mate has a 3d printer and I'm pretty decent at 3d modelling.

You can do it!
