DigiKey also sells the connector bodies (but they are not cheap, something like $0.79 each for the 3 pole!) and also male pins (fit into the same bodies).
It may be too late for this year, though. We just use rubber bands to hold them into a lump, putting all the lumps around 6" from the controller. Makes for nice adjustability, too.
Good luck,

Hmm, I was always under the impression that they cost more than that. Thanks.
I just had an idea though: What if I were to stick a wire clamp thing next to each victor and wrap each pwm around its respective clamp a few times until it's the right length. That would probably look nice.
