light wiring and battery move.

[timgreen82]

Okay so I put a crap ton of lights on my rig. Head lights tail lights and fog lights blinkers and even ground effect lights. So now I have it all wired and working great my issue is the extra wire. There is a lot of it I have zip tied and I am kinda a neat freak. After all the re work about 3 times now it still looks like it is still a mess under the lid any ideas on how to clean it up. Second a few of my buddies had said 50 move my battery to the back of my rig. Is there any difference in the battery location when I do get a chance to take it out and play other then in the snow.

Cut and solder. And leave the battery up front, unless you have a lot of weight from other things there.

Okay well cut and soldering wires figured that guess I need to shorten them any how. Moving the battery to the back why would I need to add weight to the front then ?

adding the weight up front helps keep front axle on the ground during climbing.

Use a few large size wire braid and put your rats nest in them. Makes things look neater.

Oh, battery in front is better than back.

So I am not liking that the battery is up front. Moved all my electronic to the read and did a indoor run with the battery up front. I don't know it seemed odd to me. Then I noticed that I have to mess with the transmission again or reprogramme the ESC. So what kind of weights should I add. I already have a full metal bumper and winch on the front. I do have some old led weights from the days of being a bsa leader for the pinewood derby cars. One of my buddies said not to put in wheel weights because you burn up the motor.

use those weights.a little glue and stick them on the insides of your front rims.or could go OLD school and add bb's inside the front tires.

Thanks I am going to use some of the lead weight I have from my days as a boy scout leader.
