Nice Build!
Which PF cables are you using? are they your own or the Lego Long PF cables?
Do you have any cables passing through the turntable or are you running two
(or more) independent systems? with multiple battery boxes?

Thanks Parax!
Actually they are my own home brew versions. I can’t find a retailer here in
Oz, that sells the extension cable, and the $30 shipping is a little steep
for 3 cables. You can find a step-by-step guide on how I made them on
brickshelf http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=350906 The bonus
with my cables is that they can be routed in places an official one couldn’t
(way thinner & slightly less wide).
Yes I have both drive motor cables passing through the turntable, but I still
can get 2 full turns in both directions before the cable twist becomes too
tight. So I figured this wasn’t too bad. The model is powered by only the
one battery box located in the rear superstructure.

Nice job on the cables, I like the lil ribons, the mod looks tricky with the
tiny pins/connectors though!
I thought you may have used these
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=58118 I’ll wait until Lego release
them in more places... I know they are stupidly rare at present! I wouldn’t
bother buying the current extension cables they are stupidly short! (I used 3 in
my tower crane, over less than 12 inches!)
I like your mod on the ‘Axle Joiner Perpendicular 3L with 4 Pins’ I have managed
to avoid cutting so far! but I think Lego ought to make that Piece!
As for the wiring Just dont loose count of your turns!
