Those redbottoms are little beasties.
The spec sheet says with 5x4.5x3 props on 3s they produce 260grams thrust.
In my experience using their mt2204 i was lifting a heavy versacoper on 6x4.5 bi blades and getting 10 to 14 minutes cruising around chillin out flights. Less the more speed obviously.
I also bumped them up to 4s (NOT rated for btw) using 5x4.6x3 dal cyclones and ripped 4 minute freestyle flights.
Those red bottoms should easily out perform all that.
You can always change parts down the road after learning to fly. Thats what the hobby is about. Growing as a pilot and hopefully as a person in knowlege.
Id wonder more over the bullet escs then any other componant in your build list.
Edit... sorry was 6x4.5 bi blades not 7x4.5. Those red bottoms should still turn 7 inch props. May have to drop to 7x4 if heat is an issue.

I was not going to use the bullet esc's. As my FC stack comes with a 35A 4 in 1 on the bottom. But due to cost, I bought the set as there was confusion on CW vs CCW and such. So I figured buying a set of 4 would ensure I got the correct motor for each corner.
I have opinions on all in ones as well as prebuilt gear but those debates are long stale and boring.
Your case with having issues with fine motor control limit what you can do. Same boat as me but in different ways.
Your need for prefab is stronger which is why I offered to do the build with the parts you have.
In the end its your time, money, and desire to fly that dictates where you will end up. I am here to help as best I can any choice you make.

I use 18AWG silicone insulated hobby wire for that. Black seems to be the common motor wire colour.
You don’t have to worry about CW/CCW as long as you have nylock prop nuts and get the motors spinning the right way for it to fly. The motors were never “sided” it was the prop nut thread that was left or right handed. It’s not used much anymore, everyone uses nylock and motors are all the same thread direction.
