I have been running my t maxxs since since the classic days. never really put any thought about the reciever bats. Until i have dusted them all off and have been rebuilding them, and updating them. os 18 cvr's 4 of them, tradded in the old radio/rec. for the 2.4, and hi tec servos. also driveline upgrades etc. etc... My question is about upgraded batteries. where and how to mount? i have done the zip tie method and seems to shake loose. Any ideas or help would be greatly apperciated any pics also! thanks Mike

i put little pieces of foam on the chassi under the battery pack and used a zip tie to hold it hasnt came off yet put the zip tie in between the batteries tho youll get a tighter squeeze

I have ran them both zip tied to the shock tower and on top and under the chassis with no problems as long as you secure it well.</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">Some aftermarket battery boxes are large enough to fit a hump pack as well.
