Quad My Next Quad

It's not going to hurt. But I would do something with those tight wires on the right. And make sure there are no legs touching the carbon fiber on the bottom side.
 
I think what I'll do is put some washers under the nuts on top and possibly replace the plastic ones with lock nuts. The wires aren't really that tight. I have them bent over and around the standoff. I did that so I didn't have to run them between the standoff and camera mount. I was afraid the carbon edge would abrade the insulation.

I ordered my camera today. I hope I have better luck out of it. I also ordered some 24 GA wire. I may halt installation of my motors and use the smaller wire. 22ga is twice as thick as what the motors have on them.

I can't handle having two different size wires on those motors. It just looks like crap. I have a little OCD too. My new wire will be here Thursday so I'll wire them up then. I hope to fly it this weekend.
 
You could always cut away the heat shrink from the base of the motor and replace the entire wire.
 
You shouldn't have to take the motor apart. If you tried to do that, you would have to pry the stator stack off of the hub it's pressed onto. Not ideal to say the least because you will likely destroy the stack or even the windings. But if the windings come out of the housing where that heat shrink is, you could just unsolder those, and solder more onto it.
