Question for you seasoned B5M owners. I just bought a new B5M kit as my first offroad car and I'm done assembling it and installing the electronics.

My question is about the motor wires. The HW Justock ESC has long 14ga wires that will just reach the motor (D4 17.5) if I route it down the right side of the chassis. I see most guys route the motor wires up and over the battery. I would assume to keep the motor wires as short as possible. I was trying to keep the battery strap easy to remove and keep the COG down. Would there be a potential problem with the motor wires routed around the battery?

BTW I have read about 250+ pages of this thread before buying my car. There is alot of good info here.
