UPDATE on the O-ring strapping system. After realizing the potential for the batteries coming out, I added something to make it more secure.

You will now need in addition:

Two composite TC3 hexes
Two button head 4-40 screws

Here's what it looks like...

BTW, that battery isn't going ANYWHERE...it's held in there solid...trust me.

Look down the side of the chassis. Isn't that bowing the chassis? Just curious.

brian glad you understood me see it was for your benefit . i see you used some washers to keep the oring from falling out of place and a stop to keep them for sliding out! i wish you luck because my buddy tried that also and it worked better! but the batteries still fell out.
