Does anyone manufacture a tray which has higher sides, to stop the tray digging into the lower half of my lipo?? Are battery trays (like the Tekno) which have a velco straps that runs the length of the tray better than trays which have straps from left to right (like the Losi)??



I am unsure if the bottom lipo cell is damaged, it seems mostly like the shrink wrapp has all bunched up. Out of caution I put the lipo in a lipo sack, in a metal toolbox, and placed it outside the house.

thanks for everyone's advice.

I run the Losi tray in both 8B and 8T conversions. I use industrial velcro to lock my lipos down to the tray and the 3 staps that come with the tray. We have some big SX style jumps at our track and I've never had a lipo move on me. I do also take up any additional space in the tray with foam padding. That extra padding may be the difference. I also work the lipo back and forth when I install it to make sure the velcro has fully grabbed. When I remove a lipo it's pretty tough and takes a lot of wiggling to get the velcro to let go.
