Your wiring comes out a lot cleaner then mine, but I am also using deans batteries (mostly for reliability) and 10ga all the way around.
I don't think it flexes enough to matter. I might be wrong but I didn't see any evidence from this weekend's racing it's going to cause me issues. If I do see it will cause an issue I will modify the stock plastic spur gear cover and fit it on top of the graphite.

Additionally, my transponder is on the chassis under the front drive shaft, extra wiring is coiled under the ESC mount.
