I'm using the intellect 3800 packs which have the "bumps" on the bottom. They aren't wide enough for one thing so the pack can slide left/right about a 1/4 inch. I'm using the stock hold-down strap and screws. Is there a solid alternative or method to keep the battery in place? I don't expect it to stay put if I really clock something hard, but I'd like it to stay put with a small or moderate bump.

This is what I am using with my LiPo battery - http://www.manutech.info/rcracinghom...gproducts.html - I need to add extra weight and the battery dosent move. Look for the "TC5 LiPo weight"
