Battery straps

[Famous481]

How is everyone strapping down 2 3s batteries (hard case)? Are there aftermarket straps? The strap that runs the length of the battery is fine, it's the other 2 that aren't quite long enough.

What do you mean, 2 3s batteries? Instead of putting in one single 6s you're putting in two 3s stacked ontop of each other?

 

[Famous481]

Yeah. Is that stupid?

 

[lampshade9909]

Yeah. Is that stupid?

Probably. Because the top one might slide around and hit things during impact right?

With 2s all three straps reach securely. 3s however don't and I think one single 6s pack its just as big as 2 3s

My 4s packs are one single battery. Though I do not have any 6s myself since I only race, I’ve seen people on YouTube using 6s lipos in their Tekno RCs. Maybe they are one single pack as well? Could you try buying longer Velcro straps from somewhere? Or hell maybe you could make some somehow. Can’t be that hard right? I’d be worried about that too battery sliding and hitting the center diff or the center diffs our drive though.

Exactly. Im either gonna make them or just buy 2 replacement straps(the longer one) and call it a day.

What about if you duct tape the two batteries together ? they won't slide anywhere then ??

 

[Famous481]

That or a strip of double sided tape between them

I wouldn't want to stick the batteries together with tape etc - why not use some velcro pads between the batteries, or a velcro strap around the batteries, to hold them together. That way it's easy enough to take them apart when need be, but they are held in the vehicle together ..... and velcro is cheap
