What I would do:
- Rotate the motor can so the wires run close to the chassis. (TBO I don’t know how the body fits with the wires on top of the can)
- Make the battery wires quite a bit shorter. Use a very small piece of shrink wrap tubing to show the neg.
- Mount your transponder on the chassis behind the servo and run the wires the same way you did with the servo wire to the RX. Thats will get rid of all the zip ties.
- With the motor to esc wires running close to the chassis you can then run your ESC wire to the RX and sensor cable all in one bundle and use a large piece of shrink wrap tubing to help hide the wires.
- If you have a long wires then lay the wire on itself (make an s and lay the wire on itself) use a ziptie or more shrink wrap tubing to hold it together.
- Can even go as far as getting a paint pen and paint the wires black.
- Put a red dab of paint on the batteries + side to get rid of the making tape with a + on there (IMO you wont need to do this if you shorten up the wires. At the right length there is no way the + can plug into the -) But i did it anyway.
I did most of the above and I think it turned out pretty good.

For those looking for out of stock parts, this might be a partial explanation. Not to give HPI an excuse.

I so feel what you're saying...and I truly wish it was that way...but the reality of it is..parts are less expensive and in most cases better quality when they're imported. It sucks...

There are few industries with the volume it takes to make your scenario realistic.

IMO The wiring part is always the hardest part to get clean.

- Rotate the motor can so the wires run close to the chassis. (TBO I don’t know how the body fits with the wires on top of the can)
- Make the battery wires quite a bit shorter. Use a very small piece of shrink wrap tubing to show the neg.
