you put the heat shrink to close to the connector, stop 1-2mm before the plastic of the connector starts. the unused connector of the ESC is used for the optional light kit.

Hi, I could have spent some time and installed the heat shrink but then didn't feel it absolutely necessary so left it. I see so the led module is connected to the esc then. Thanks for watching 👍
