Wires to the ESC are nice and short from the motor. This orientation means the LEDs on ESC are on the outside and easy to see.



The vertical outlet of the Corally works better with the LRP LiPo. It keeps the wires well away from the belts.



But you have to be very careful how you place the front as the bumps on the LiPo only have approx 1.5mm per side clearance of the 2 front pulleys.

You can also see the velcro I cut to shape on the LiPo and strap. I also used the locators to make sure the LiPo didn't slide around and hit the pulleys.
Forgot to say thanks for the pics. Where are the LED status lights on the xcelorin as I don't want to cut cables and realise I've arranged it so I can't see them! The manual cunningly doesn't have a diagram showing where they are! In fact it doesn't even say where the button to change modes is but I'm guessing its the microswitch on the main power switch?

Hoping to do my wiring tomorrow if I get a moment.
