I cut the cell blocks on mine so theres only the outside left and unwound the bolt heads to the top and it works perfectly quite and easy + tidy fix

forgot to mention I can't get the original thick carbon straps on now but use long R clips which are cable tied through a piece of fuel tube and this works well

A quick way would be to remove the plastic cell tray, reinstall the posts and flip the battery strap over so the flat side is against the lipo (I assume the straps you have are B44 ones?). If you tighten them down enough they won't go anywhere, put some velcro/servo tape between the strap and the lipo for extra security.

The best way would be to get some lipo trays, either the Diggity Design's ones - http://www.diggitydesigns.com/D3_B44_SaddleBraces.html

Or the AE one for the B44 - http://67.199.85.166/main/productdet...ory=4004.b44xx

You can use the standard posts with any BRCA spec lipo, if you run taller ones like the Trakpower 4800 you will need longer posts like the ones you get with the Diggity Designs trays
