If you ran bullets w/o bulky deans or adapter wires, you shouldn't have a problem with the wires'/connectors' fitment under the body.

Now, I've ran shorty packs in my Serpent, and loved them actually!! I ran them with spacers in the front, packs all the way back. Suuuuuper balanced, and handled phenomenally!
Thanks, what I'm worried about is interference between the inset connectors and the little flip door on the battery tray. Especially if the connectors are in the center. I will just have to see. What is the depth of the battery tray?

I like the shorty pack idea from a setup perspective too. Something else to consider for sure.
