On TC you tend to take the shocks off more regularly than off-road. You'll remove them to change diff oil, change springs, change shock oil, rebuild the shocks, set the droop, check for free suspension movement, clean them etc etc.

On my buggy I rarely remove the shocks so screwing into the arm works alright (although still not as nice as the Xray mounts).

Why would you be going out of your way to not use the shock mounting system that is stock? Works great. Yes you can do it other ways, but why would you want to when there is a greater risk of damaging the arm?

^^^This. Makes no sense to do otherwise.

What's the best method for holding a lipo in place? I've seen the Xray graphite strap set, but it's $45. I've seen a velcro strap on Ebay for around $20. Is the graphite worth the extra $20 splurge?

Several good methods exsist, I prefer using the Xray graphite adjustable battery holders with the RSD battery hold down posts/tabs.

This looks like a nice option too, but I've not tried it.

Can't beat the reflex hold downs imo. I put a small piece of carpet tape in the middle of my pack and it doesn't move but still allows the chassis to fully flex.

+1 for the graphite battery holders + RSD hold down

If not, a bunch of guys are using just tape, nothing else.

Just tape for me, I"ve done other options and this one is the best for me.

Just tape for me. I don't see any of the top drivers using anything different either.

RSD is the best holder I agree. Plus continues with the OEM look of the chassis.

+1 for tape.
I had the RSD holders on my '13, and ended up just selling them with the car.
