Default Lipo clamp/strap - T4 '14

I'm hopefully collecting a T4 '14 today to run at my local indoor club meets. I've been lucky enough to have been loaned a friends Awesomatix for a few months, but we didn't really click, but they're was parts of it that I liked. One of those parts being the lipo clamps, and the lack of need to tape in the packs. Is anything like this available for the T4, or is tape the only option?

Thanks all

They do do a battery bar but to be honest that affects the chassis flex. Personally I would use tape, you can re use the same piece a few times if you don't get the tape dirty, I use the same piece all day and add a bit extra over the overlap if it starts to lose it's stick.

A velcro strap is the worst possible way to hold a battery into a TC. To get it tight enough to hold the lipo during crashes will tweak the chassis like mad.

Tape is still the best solution I'm afraid; the top guys all use it for a reason. Just get some decent stuff (not the cheapo clear stuff) and it will work great.

Thanks all. The Velcro strap concerned me anyway, mainly due to the hulk that would be below the chassis. I'll use tape and man up!
