Boils down to this it's better than having just 6 gauge cables but not as good as having only 4 gauge cables...

But honestly on a 600 amp controller I'd much rather see ALL cables in 2 gauge...

A 600 amp controller is big, use 2 gauge cables throughout...

The orange and blue field wires on the motor (F1 and F2) don't need to be upgraded. They can remain the stock 10 gauge.
