I don't use the "rubber band" on my Carpet Knives... I replaced the posts with 'standoffs' (like are used for the rear cross brace), then cut a fiberglass "battery bar" about 5/16" wide and just long enough to go from one post to the other... I drop in the battery, then use 4-40 button head screws to attach the battery bar... With this setup, I've NEVER had a battery come loose under race conditions!

This is an old picture of my CK v1.0, but I've done the same thing to my CK v3.1...:

That is more or less what i did to
But i have drill the hole in line whit the link and the battery brace that is down on the chassis so i can make my car narrow if i want
