I would mount the batteries to a piece of pcv tubing,large enough to go around you knuckle and slid that over the knuckle. Screw a bolt into the pcv tube to the knuckle.

As a way of comparison, if you dont mind having the same batts always tied to your knuckle, here is what it looks like WITHOUT the PVC:

Yep those are my Knuckles. You can get them at www.jpcustomrcs.com. They were designed to carry 4 Sub C's inside a 3.2 size wheel. so they fit many Wheels that we use on Supers. They also work with stock and aftermarket Tubes and axles. The bearings have been replaced heavy duty ones.
