If the wires in your blaster are hair thin, like the wires that run the lamp in a FireStrike, then yes, replace them with plain old speaker wire. But it they have any gauge to them, they should be fine. The motor wires in my Stryfe could probably handle 24 volts at an amp, at least.

Just remember, basic 16 gauge lamp cord can run a couple of 100 watt lamps. (Aptly named!) And that's 110 volts at about 2 amps. You're not going to approach anything near that with your Li-Po pack.

Then again, maybe you are, and you need to switch to 10 gauge right now ;-)
