The battery hold down brace plus tape do the job of keeping that lipo very snug & secure
I also use a small piece of foam strip from the kit on the back of the lipo, so it doesn't come in hard contact with the solder post on the Tekin RS
There are a few mms of gap to the receiver, so the chassis is not bound up
That car gets in it's fair share of "incidents" racing weekly, and in the UF1 series
