Sorry everyone - its been a busy week. I tried to take a picture but it was kind of hard to show.

First, I am running the new ProTeck 3200 "little" shorty. This battery is about 1/3 the height of most shorty packs. This gave me the idea that I could simply run the wires under the pack.

Next, I used TQ Wire 13ga wire, which is roughly the size of typical 14ga wire, but with more internal wire to carry current.

Finally, the Viper flat sensor wire was used to keep the wire on the chassis under the battery.

There is also a piece of foam (with a sticky back) that are put on either end to keep the battery level with the wire.

Ultimately it makes for a cool install, don't really think its ultimately a performance gain, but it looks cool.
