Safe to Cut Motor or ESC Leads?

[skeeler]

Hello,

I have what may be a stupid question. I did a quick search, but couldn't find the answer.

Is there any reason I can't cut the leads on a brushless motor or the leads coming out of a BL ESC? I have quite a bit more than I need on both ends, and I'd like to trim them down a bit.

Thanks for your help.
