Re: update 8 clarification, drill motor and blue wires

Ahem.. Um....well.. you see, they sorta- "desoldered" themselves... We were running ours, and they melted the solder and fell off, so we've been using our own solderless connectors- what would be the ruling on this? Should we risk destroying our motors by resoldering them? Personally I would consider using the stock blue wires FIRE AND SAFETY HAZARDS As the can get extremely hot. 12Gauge wire will NOT handle 40 Amps of current!! This seems a little "non-engineer like" of FIRST,
