We have a mentor who installs alarm systems. He was concerned about the #10 wires being moved around and breaking off the lugs on the Fisher Price motors. He soldered the wires to the lugs on the motor and then used tie wraps to hold the wire to the motors, with a loop going to the lugs. It looks like he came up with a good solution.
