You can solder them directly.

Infact you can shorten them and solder so that all the esc's can be mounted between the center plates if possible. You will need some silicone wire probably 18/16 awg to extend wires to the motor. You can route those wires through the arms if you wish. That way it would look clean.

Usually wires between batteries and esc should be shortest, while between esc and motor can be lil lengthy.
Yet increasing wire length in any case increases resistance in the circuit but it wont matter much in your case.

Im not sure what you read, but you can read this for one of the reasons of keeping wires short. Its an ongoing argument tho.

http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=952523

Another reason is Electromagnetic interference but Im not sure how it would affect kk 2, but its basically bad for magnetic sensors used in ardupilot/multiwii etc

Well the switches side is back side of KK2, (I mean place the KK board so that you can read the LCD from there)

So you should place KK board with switches side coming to your back of the quad , then stand facing the switches, Front left is motor 1, Front right is motor2, Back right is motor 3, and back left is motor 4 Smiley

Motors should be connected to calibrate ESC - ESC works only if load is connected and detected.
Also only motors should be there , remove the props Smiley

Pls don't try to take of right after ESC calibration, follow the steps,

1) Apply enough throttle for all motors starts running (Props mounted)
2) Check all props are pushing air down to ground,
3) If not check correct props are mounted in correct motor,
4) If props are mounted correctly, and still some is not pushing air down, Reverse the direction of motor rotation by interchanging any 2 of the 3 motor wires,
5) Rechect motor directions
6) try take off in self level off , and default PI values ,
7) If there is twitching to any sides while take off, Correct it with trims on the appropriate channel,
Cool Once in air, try to hover at one position with sufficient trims and very little stick movements
9) once quad is stable in acro mode, you can try self level - why I say so because an unstablised quad in self level mode acts weird Smiley
