Red face Tamiya Mini soldering thicker wire to motor

Hi all,

At the club we're allowed to solder directly to the (kit only permitted) motor as the the current wires are thin and one is connected with a spade.

The kit ESC runs 16awg wire and I will be using 4mm bullets to connect the esc to the motor.

My question is should I stick with 16awg silicone wire to match the esc or can I go thicker? Would a change in gauge past the bullet connectors cause an imbalance in the current?

Sorry for the numpty question!

Cheers!
