Wiring Conduit

One of the less pleasing areas of many Stampedes is the wiring. Between the wires for the receiver, speed control, and other items it can get really messy under the lexan shell of your Stampede. Keeping the wiring under control will also do more than just make it look better, it will also protect your wiring from damage by sticks rocks and other items you'll encounter when driving your truck.

Generally I just use wire ties to strap the wires alongside the chassis. However a reader suggested another option that makes for an even more protective and neater appearance. His suggestion was to slit a straw lengthwise and place all your wiring in it. Then strap the straw and wiring down to the chassis with wire-ties as in the example below:

I'll add that another material that would be good for this task would be fuel line tubing. Whether you use straws or fuel line tubing, you're sure to find either in a color that compliments the rest of your vehicle should the color co-ordination of your chassis be of a concern to you.
