Well, after the bash session I had to clean the truck up. Man there was crap everywhere. And I think some of it was real crap, from a dog, or maybe a goose.

So here's the "upgraded" wiring. My X2 mount is still in the mail, so the center diff is going to drop further soon enough. One of the nice things about this layout is how clean it is, and how easy it is to take the ENTIRE motor system out. I'm going to cut and mount the tray in front of the center diff so I can mount the receiver there. Once that is done with 5 screws I'll be able to completely remove the entire motor system and the only thing I'll have to unplug is the steering servo!

Here's the original wiring as of this morning:


And here's the cleaned up wiring with some close ups of the ESC tray I made. I decided NOT to extend the tray back to the rear diff mount because of the complexity of working on the truck then. The battery trays themselves act as stiffeners. I may drill out a larger hole for the holes though so I can use a washer and a small nut for a stronger clamping force. Repeated tray removal seems to weaken the screw holes so the screws don't grip as tightly.
