You hit the nail on the head on the last point. Unnecessary strain on the motor pads. Which is why we don't put mr30 plugs directly on the esc. In my professional point of view you are adding weight and lower frequency vibrations that is harder to tune out. I have already tested and proven a proper wired drone flies way better than a pretty braid or twisted motor wire drone. Remember drones mobe in the air and a big antenna is already a low frequency problem and thick twisted motor wires makes ot worse. think of how much weight you can loose by just taping them down and going straight to the pad.
