As an alternative to fully disabling the motor by disconnecting it, you can take a metal file to the counterweight on the motor. Removing excess mass from this weight will drastically soften the vibration

I cut the red wire too, will that create an issue?
Not necessarily, but having both wires loose increases the risk of shorting out, so make sure the wires are secured enough so the metal of the wire cannot touch anything.
