Yes, they come with straps and several3mm and 4mm countersunk screws to get you going.

Getting a longer battery tray might be a good idea if you plan on using different batteries, or just wan to keep options open. Jst use some dense foam to take up the slack.

Similar to Arct1k, I would the tray using a couple small pieces of servo tape. Then I drill a 3/32" or 5/64" hole through the chassis and tray - basically smaller than the screw I am using so the threads bite. If using 4mm screws, same process applies, just drill ~1/8" holes for the threads instead, and slightly larger 5/32" holes for the screws themselves. Remove the tray and tape, and enlarge the chassis hole to accomodate the 3mm screw, and countersink it. I usually try to use existing holes if possible first, and drill new holes only if I have to.
