Looking good! Nice and clean, way better than my first wire job. You should consider eliminating the deans plugs and go with a direct 4mm bullet connection. Just be carfull when plugging the wires into the battery (I have blown up one esc). Thanks for sharing!

Thank you my friend. Any particular reason for bullets vs deans?

My shorty pack is 5mm bullets but I'm unsure on how to convert this full size pack to bullet connectors?

But yeah I love this truck it looks awesome and handles better! I think I also chose some quality electronics and upgrades.

There are a couple reasons to swap: 1. The deans create more resistance which really counts when running in a stock class. 2. Way less chance of a connection failure, I've had them get loose at the solder joint and connection joints. 3. It cleans things up as well.

You could make an adapter to run both 4 and 5 mm plugs but then your creating more Electrical resistance..

Got some good pictures in here. iMarky, I'd like to see how you did your receiver, servo, amb and esc leads.

would this be a better plan? i can run a deans connector in my basher (losi xxx-sct) and just use my deans 7200 revtek for bashing.

i can swap my tlr to 5mm bullets which i already have my shorty revtek pack as bullets and i can just get another one. that way ill have bullets for my racing/clean setup but i can still make use of my pre wired revtek 7200mah and have the ease of use of the deans. sound like a decent plan?

Ok here is my TLR 22 3.0 that underwent a clean up of all the wiring. Probably the best work I have done!

I'm waiting on parts to shorten the ESC wire, but here's my PlanB/ACRC B5M with mildly clean wiring.
