MMM Help

[Thomas Porfert]

To reiterate what has already been said by suicideneil. It is okay, and actually recommended to shorten the length of wires on the Castle Neu motors and our 36mm motors. The regular Neu's should never be cut.

The rule of thumb that I follow is if the wires are limp and like wet noodles, they are simply extensions of the motors internal wiring, so you can cut 'em; if they're stiff and hold a bend, they are part of the internal wiring, don't cut e'm.

Shortening the wires on the right motor has positive effects; it makes for a cleaner install, reduces radio interference and improves signaling between the speed control and motor.

Shortening the wires on the wrong motor can cause issues with timing, and as stated already is difficult to solder on because they have a coating that makes soldering near impossible. FYI: acetate helps remove this coating if you find yourself in a situation where you need to solder on coated wires.

Hope this helps some. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!
