Thank You!
With connectors on all the wires in and out of the motor controller, swapping them in and out becomes very quick and easy. I do not recommend clipping the shells for multiple connector pairs together. It makes it harder to swap individual motor controllers. You can leave the connectors on them and re-use them the next year (as long as the rules do not consider them to be no longer COTS with the connectors attached). We left all wires at their original length and coiled up the excess CAN wire lengths.
