Is there a good way to run the wires under the battery without beating up on the esc wires? In the old days we used battery foam on the bottom of the battery tray and this would raise pack 1mm or so and protect the wires a little. But since we all want a lower CG, we dont do that any more. So I am thinking about using and extension cable (replaceable) to go under the battery and connect to the esc and just tie up the esc cable and keep it near the esc. Thoughts?
Put a layer or 2 of 3M painters tape over the top. I noticed the samething I havent noticed any wear on the wires since i started doing this.
