Turn the battery around in the tray so the wire is closer to the esc...

Shortest possible wires are always the best idea with any of the high power setups. More wire is more resisitance and those little electrons get angry if they have to run down too much wire...and anger makes them hot, which inturn heats up your entire system. So keep the wires short and your electrons happy!

If they are long enough that will be fine then. I still have to cut off the plug and put a Traxxas connector on it. Here is a picture of how short they are. It may work fine in the Slash.

Where do I start with this...

On second thought can you post pics of this, as I am sure Harold and Shaun (and possibly others) will be very interested on how to achieve 2 extra inches by hand.
