Losi 8ight battery tray

[RC-Monster Mike]

The brass inserts will expand into the plastic the first time you thread into them - they won't be so tight on subsequent installations. A single strap is plenty strong to hold the battery and makes swaps easier as well(this is a big plus if you race with nitro guys in longer mains).
I usually send a 10" strap - should I make 11" the standard size?

The Hyperion G3 6S measures 10.16 itself, so I'd go 12". Trimming them is easier IMHO, than ordering and finding out that they are too damn short.

BTW, I've also found that the above battery (in addition to my Neu 5S, and my "old" Zippy 6S) falls into the "custom" battery tray department.....

I need to fab a quicky custom tray today for the Muggy (I'm taking it on its first runs this weekend). Mike - what is the step up dimension you use where the tray goes up over the mud guards?
