I agree the motor wires are to long, but thats great, so we ccan cut them to what ever length we need, and make out wiring nice and neat, with out having to have another set of wires coming from the speedo
I have my DX3 antenna running up right between the motor wires and nary a glitch. Lucky so far I guess.

You shouldn't shorten leads on motors like Feigao, Neu, etc because the leads are just extensions of the coil wires, and only the last inch or so has the varnish removed for soldering. It's almost impossible to solder to varnish-coated wires without somehow removing that layer.

Motors like the Mamba max motors are ok because the leads are just regular wires. The connections between the coils and the leads are done inside the motor. The CC Neu motors look like they fall into this category.

Alright so shortening motor wires will help reduce noise, what about those ferrous rings found on the ends of Gamming controllers like the Ps2's controller- i have one but i dont know if it will help any.
should i braid the Pwm wired (red black white-servo connector)?

The ferrous rings almost doubled my range in my airplanes before I went to the futaba fasst with them. It worked really well ,Took all the funky glitching out.

I used some of those rings when I getting bad glitching on my crt.5 (4s a123, feigao 9l, mamba max, futaba 2.4ghz). I could even notice it with just the power system sitting on my bench. Ferrite rings made things worse for some reason, heeeaaaps worse. electronics positioning was not the problem (I even isolated the high power stuff completely on my bench when i was testing).

Still never figured out the problem *shrugs* I thought it was the MM and sent it back and they said there was nothing wrong with it. Not the case, I just don't run it anymore. Pity, really. Just waiting till i cbf posting it up here for sale heh.
