Default Having a bit of wireing trouble.... HELP?

Im having a problem figuring out all the electrical issues
on my workhorse Cherohee rig? (see first album pic)

Aside from the fact it has in it:

OLD-SCHOOL Novak XRS ESC (8.4v max input/6v internal BEC)
HS465mg servo
Integy 35t motor/20t pinion on 87t spur
Ram motor sound unit and custom blower box/dual 9v boxy batt feed
and seperate servo actuated horn
RC4WD winch and controler chip
CC 10 AMP BEC running steering servo and winch via splitter cable
Axial "simple lights" - 4 forward white, 2 rear red with controler board
about 15 feet of splitters, extentions, custom cut connectors,
and GOD KNOWS what else I forgot to mention!

I just cant figure out how it all still seems to work together? ROTFLMAO!!!

Sorry, but I just had to post what a mess things can get to be when
you try to pack 10 pounds of crap in a 6.5 pound scaler rig.....

I guess my biggest issue is I dont want to cut wires for a cleaner
system, because I will get bored soon and need all this speghetti for another project soon enough.

My buddy said I should show you electronics folks my mess because there might be an RCC worlds record for the worst RC wireing job ever.

I think I got a shot at that trophy, what do you think?

But Ill tell you what, damn thing works, and crawls like a spider too.......
probably because its so damn wire-heavy LOL!!!

Busy? yes. Messy? a little. But, the worst? Not even close! If everything's workin' you're doing something right (or very lucky).

Just coil all the small wire around a screwdriver handle (They will look like a telephone cord) and it will look 100 times better without shortening anything.

you think thats messy, my tamiya knight hauler with my custom light kit was worse than that till i got sick of it. there was over 20ft of servo sized wire ran through it to power a total of 28 leds (22 truck, 6 trailer) and 6 servos (steering, shift, 5th wheel lock, hi/lo beams, lights on/off, turn sig) , 6ch rx, switches (hi/lo, on/off, turn sig), a mmp, and connectors to send power to trailer for unhooking.
