I solder the wires on every gun I own that has a removable motor cage (since it is easy to remove... duh)

The only time I did it on an M4 was on resquest from the guy, because it broke 3 sets of connectors in 2 weeks (don't ask...), and I left enought lenght to comfortably pull the motor out of the grip not to be stuck of anything... (it was an ICS M4 with a MOE grip).

Technically, the tabs on the motor are not "made" for anything. There is the exact same type of tabs on RC cars 540-size motors, yet every single one is soldered...(ok, except factory silver cans). It is just that for airsoft purpose it is easier to just use connectors since it won't change anything (that won't be the weak spot of the system).

*Edit

That SCAR job looks horrible... If the wires are really short, you should as well change the whole wires from the battery to the motor and trigger unit.. will be easier to do that try to fix that...
