Avoid soldering unless you're confident you can do so without damaging the motor brushes. The heat spread into the motor tabs by soldering could easily damage the brushes and reduce motor performance. Try using 3/16" quick disconnects with hot glue and appropriate stress relief for the wires.

FPs can easily draw up to 40A. Select the fuse and corresponding wire gauge as is appropriate for its application.
