Battery hold down questions?

[primus95]

Hi All,

I've destoyed (god damn it) my Neu 5s1p 6500mah battery, it came through the front wall on my Losi Battery tray, and the bottom cell is squished to hell. I'm not daring enough to use it now. :(

Couple of questions for the racers as I'm about to stop bashing and start racing this season:

1 - Does anyone make cinch straps that are longer than 12" / 30cm in length that will support a 5S lipo??

2 - Do most of you racing using Hard or Soft lipo's?

3 - Are you running 4S/5S batteries or 2S/3S in series?

4 - Are you running dual lock velcro in your trays, and do you find it helpful to lock the battery in (reason I ask is that my dual lock has disintergrated over time showing me it did not help stop battery sliding)?

thanking you all in advance
