Default Berg wiring

Hey guys. I have question about wiring my berg. I want to mount my twin fxr's on my rear diff. Now if I do this I will have very short motor wires to the rear motor,about two inches. And long wires to the front motor,a out six or eight inches. Will this cause any power issues to one end or the other ?

In theory there is greater resitance on the longer leads, however in practice I doubt you will notice the increased resistance from 4" of good quality wire.

I'm using 16 Gage wire right now and would like to again with this setup. Will that be ok ?

If it's good quality 16g that should be fine. I run 12g but then again I am the king of overkill.

That set up should work fine. It will seem like your fronts pull harder than your rear due to the fact that your front tires will have less load on climbs. So the resistance that the longer wire will have should not be an issue.

My punk dig is on the back of my rear links, so I have about 1.5 in to the rear motor and almost 8 in of 14 gauge and still experience stall.

With tha 4pk and dual esc ya can make up any stall/power issues. If it was a single esc setup I'd go with equal wires but I don't think you'll have much of a problem with duals.
