For those of you running a platinum 4800 - how are you secureing the battery in the chasis?

I tape mine in and am having some spillage issues, I am sure that if I stay off the pipes that it would stay just fine with tape alone but I am not that good.

I am going to try the nexus weights. Do you guys have suggestions for a more dense weight to balance the car out?
