Exciting to see where this is going.
Has anyone relocated the starter battery to the trunk?

I know the wiring would change drastically...... |
Not to speak for him, but I think there's a line Rob has to walk with supporting community mods as some customers can be easily confused and think a mod that has been supported is also supported by the manufacturer. I don't think of the Phantom kit as open source per say, it just had a very communicative dev and integration team.
The PROcede integration wasn't so much a community member "testing the waters" (ala the great work that Kool is doing). Instead it was an integration by @
Shiv@Openflash supported by Rob and Shiv's business relationship. Rob has even since updated the wiring in his most recent kits to support the PROcede. Earlier @
Sojhinn did travel to Norcal for install/configuration/testing and also generously donates his time for support which may have given it more of a community feel.
About relocating the starter battery: This can definitely be done. @
Shiv@Openflash and @
Target70 have both done it (and maybe another in this thread):
