Can you shave the humps off the case without exposing the actual battery? and if so is this against ROAR regulations? My main concern is safety but if i can get these to fit flat in the chassis it would be great.
I have never ground on one of the Trinity packs. However, I have ground the tabs (bumps) off of the Reedy packs and doing this on these will in fact expose the inside of the case. Even if you are very careful to only grind the tabs level this still creates a hole in the case. Proceed with caution.
