If it will reach the 2 pads (+ & -), you're all set. Did you tin them? Can't tell from the pic.
Haven't tinned them yet as I didn't move forward until I made sure I wasn't doing this all wrong. Lol. Tinning these now and snipped the ends as you recommended. Also spoke with the company I purchased from and they say these are the new DJI ESC's and the mesh is correct as my "negative" wire. Good thing you know what your talking about Scott!!
