Not sure what is meant by crushing the wires. If you are unsure on your repair, try a test flight in a controlled setting. Make sure it is functioning as it is designed to.
I foud info - red is only extra 5V+ and there is not necessary. S1000+ with N3 fly well without reddish wire in esc cable.Even on S1000+ mainboard is only marked - and data. Middle goldpin is empty.
