Question Velcro battery Strap?

I've seen quite a few pictures of rides here (TLT's, Clods)with some thin velcro battery straps holding the packs down.

Where do you'se folks get them at?
I haven't been able to find anything like them and my LHS hasn't seen them.

Thanks in advance.

Most craft stores have them and most camping/backpacking stores have even better/longer ones.

Lowes has them also. They are pretty cheap. I think for 3 bucks you 6 of them.

hey
i have the velcro straps in the post above they work allright but the best is industrial strength velcro
i bought 4 feet of it for 10 bucks it was the smallest package that they sell
it works great
cut a piece and put it ontop of your servo and another piece on your battery whoever you mount it and it wont move
i have a struggle when i want to take it off because you really have to pull at it

We got these at work recently and I've been meening to pick up some for my crawlers: http://www.officedepot.com/ddSKU.do?...g=true&An=text

They are a bit long but they can be cut down to length and hold plenty well.
