Velcro straps
 
Anyone know if you can get basic velcro straps at a place like: Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart, or a Michaels (craft store)?

The reason I ask, is I just got a pair of the Hyperion G3 lipos and they are longer than my battery trays, so I am thinking about cutting the front off the tray (leave 3 sides) and rigging up a velcro strap system.

I know they are super cheap to order, but I would like to run them this weekend, and don't want to wait for shipping.

Thanks,
Ted

Yes, generally those type of stores will carrry straps, I'm sure walmart does. I have seen them at home depot as well

Mc Master Carr has great ones, and tons of options. I think HD has some, but they are generally weak, but should be fine for the weekend.

I just picked some up at lowes, they are used to tidy up wires behind tvs and stereos. They were by the home organizing stuff. $7 for a pack of several, and plenty long. They are wider and slotted on the end to kind of form a buckle. Worked out great.

Thanks guys.
I will pick up the ones from Lowes on my way home from work. A few mods and will be running the G3s tomorrow.
