My son had a good first club race with the new BD7 tq and win in 17.5 boosted, not bad for its first outing, the track is asphalt and grip levels were average but the car still held on well and cornered very nice, with higher grip on track this car will be very fast.

In order to balance out my car without getting new lipos I need to remove the optional lipo holders (~17g with screws). I looked through the team drivers photos and noticed they were not running any holders or any servo mount stoppers (other than a center ballast) which begs my next question, how do they keep the lipos in place? Lipos with feet? Or is tape sufficient?

Tape is more than sufficient to hold the packs in

Ronald runs LRP packs which have the bumps on the bottom, and presumably key into the holes in the bottom of the chassis.

Another option would be to get Schumacher U3569 and tape or shoe goo them to the bottom of your packs. Those too should fit into the slots on the chassis.

U3931 appears to be an updated part number, and is substantially cheaper from A Main (don't know about overseas).

I may be wrong but I thought that LRP did away with their bumps on the battery when they switched factories. That may be completely wrong though as no one in the US has them here.
