Hey brushless folks, for those of your with "sensored" setups like the Novak system who don't need all that extra sensor wire (for example many on-road applications have the ESC right next to the motor) has anyone come up with a good way to cleanly shorten those leads?

Since the wires are so small and the connectors proprietary, I'm reticent to ever clip them, plus I fear never getting support from Novak again if I did that. Anyone know if it's possible to disconnect the motor end inside the motor someplace and purchase a shorter harness from anyone?

These wires are so fragile and tiny, and of course I have the included plastic wire loom wrapped around them, but they're so darn long and annoying and get in the way, I'd really like to clean up my car a bit. What do the pros do about this?

shorten up the wires and heat shrink them..
