How are you guys securing your lipo's to prevent them moving during the race.
I used to use cell tape coming through the two outer '4-cell' holes but this never seemed to stop all the movement.

It's almost like we need different battery position pieces for the chassis.

Thanks

Take a looksy at the Rebel 12 battery brace that sits behind and slightly wraps around the battery. Then on the 10r5 where the back battery blocks are its the same width. You might have to countersink those holes just a bit. Its what I use along with tape and I never have problems with the battery comming loose and rubbing the links. Sometimes the braces do break from a hard hit or crash but for the most part for $2.00 there worh it.
