|  Battery hold down - Free and easy mod
Here is what I did and it holds just as good as zipties. Since I didn't use the upper battery plate and velcro straps. I just mounted the straps under some battery mount plates I bought from one of the vendors. And if you didn't have the battery mounts you could just use screws to hold it to the axle.   |

They are the ones that came with the AX10 kit and I did not modify them other then cutting a hole for the screws to go thru.

the batteries that you have used in this pack of the photo, are 2/3 or Sub C type, as the batteries of the rotostart.

They are the sub C type. I dont have a 2/3 to see if the straps are long enough but I am sure longer straps are available.

Gotcha, thanks for the info. I thought my sub C's were smaller. Not sure how big the 2/3 cells are since I dont have any. So I guess the stock straps would work just fine then. cool

I thought you got 2/3 cells, are those the packs you got from us? If so they are 2/3a's. |

I just used the kit battery tray and mounted it on the front axle. I used the servo mount as a template, centered it on the axle and drilled three new holes. That way I use the existing velco strap mounts to hold down a 6 cell 2/3A pack on either side of the servo. Works great and nothing extra to buy,

I found the package and it says "Supercharge Micro Battery". Not sure why I thought it was Sub C's. First RC battery I have bought in 15 years so I am still learning. Thanks all |
