Motor wires getting damaged

[Jarood]

Hello all, so i got an Arrma BigRock 4x4 blx v3 a few months ago, i've been having issues with the wires between motor and esc coming unplugged while bashing because they're too loose (even when they're in the clip) which has led to a damaged lead on the motor side. Is it possible to replace the leads or do i need a new motor? Also where would i get the leads? Thanks.

Use a Philips screwdriver to spread the male part of the plug open more that will help keep the motor wires from coming unplugged.

Cut the motor wires all back past the damage and just solder the bullets back on the ends of the shortened wires.

I tried to spread them but 2 prongs broke off, do you know where i can find replacement bullets?

Yeah any 4mm bullet connector, not bird cage connector, should suffice. You want something like this https://www.amazon.com/20Pair-Bullet-Banana-Connector-Battery/dp/B07BFV4HDQ

Do not buy these style connectors they are not very good https://www.amazon.com/FLY-RC-Bulle...3a-9a5e-884bf10dd1a0&pd_rd_i=B07CSQH2QC&psc=1

Okay, thanks for your help!

Put some shrink tube over the wire connection, they will never separate until you cut apart.
