Re-soldering new wires is typically part of the build process. One wire setup/length for one car won't typically work for another.

you could make a mount similiar to the one i made, but since you are running a full pack you would probably have to put some bends in the lexan so it mounted flat so your battery will fit under the reciever tray

Had to resolder 14 gauge wires on my speedo to get it to fit right. 12 gauge wires didn't really play all that nice.

I just clipped off the rear battery stops so I could slide the ESC forward a few mm. I also mounted my Rx along the side if the battery in the traditional spot. Just had to stack up about eight layers of servo tape to build a flat spot. It takes patience but the layout looks great and balances out the capacitor on the other side. I'll post a pic when I get a chance.

Chris is probably running Tebo's ROAR Nats setup, which uses UM521-1 and 0.5* hubs. He also used the short eyelets so there's almost no droop on the car. That's how he likes it but you'll get a lot of chassis slap off the big jumps. Depends on your track. It's worth trying. I think most of the team drivers are still playing around with setup because they all got their kits last week.

At the track yesterday the team guys were running the longer rear eyelets on the shocks. FYI And yes they are running the upgraded aluminum rear .5* hubs.
