Battery cable extension

[tokdl]

I did a few searches and really hadn't come up with a solid answer, so I figured I'd ask here.

I have a TF2, and I'm sure those that have one know how much of a task it can be to disconnect or charge for that matter if the battery is in the factory location. I use a 2S lipo with a sidewinder CC ESC. I was wondering if making a 6 to 8 inch extension from my battery to my ESC, in an attempt to be able to charge and power down my truck, would put my electronics at any risk?

I mention 6 to 8 in. but it may be shorter than this as I just need to have access to the plug is all.

I know that with added wire length and two additional connection points, comes added resistance, but I'm wondering if it's worth it to be able to charge and power down a bit faster. Has anyone ever done this or heard of this being used before? I'm using Traxxas connectors but will be switching to Deans style soon.

With the low amperage draw on most crawlers and scalers, I wouldn't be concerned about some extra wire length.

Thanks! With such a short distance, I'm optimistic that it wont be too much of a problem.
