Default Battery Door mod for wider packs!!

Thanks to mfishr for this idea
I didnt want to give up my brand new 6000mah Turnigy 3S Packs so with a little Traxxas Battery post I was able to give myself the extra 5mm i needed for the wider packs. Battery is secure and no issues of clearance when the body is down!!

Very nice. I'm going to have to try this. Might be cool to incorporate a spring too. That way it could hold packs secure even if between 2 pin holes

I have the parts now, and about to go do this to mine... But what prevents the pins from sliding out when I remove the clips?

I see you added a nut on one side, but what about the other side of it?
Thanks,

Aaron
