Default MaxAmps Lipo wire Location ?

When I first started looking at the MaxAmps Lipo's on there web site, I could of swore there was a choice of where you wanted the wire to come out of the battery .

I just ordered two Lipo 6000 2S2P 7.4v packs from my LHS , and I specified that I wanted them with 12g wire , Deans plugs , and the wire to come out on the top back corner.

I'm using them in my two Losi XXX & XXX-Ts and the battery strap goes right up the middle of the battery.

When I got them, all of the wires were coming right out of the top center of the battery, so I could not put the strap on .

The only way I could make it work , was to cut some of the shrink wrap,and try to fold the wires over to the side corner.
I tried to do it as carefully as I could , on the first one I started to get into some foil , and I got very concerned that I mite have done some damage to the battery.
The second one, I did not get into any foil, so now I got the wires were they need to be , but now I can't seem to find a way to cover and keep the wires over in the corner.

I tried electrical tape , and I looks good at first , but then it starts to shrink and bulged up to were it makes it hard to fit in the battery tray.

I check the web site now, and there is not a choice of were you want the wires to come out of the battery.

I don't understand why you can't specify were you want the wires to come out .

I seems to me, for Losi & Asso. that the top back corner would be the best location.
