This is what you need!

All available from DMS!

B44 blue alloy battery posts (x4)
B44 countersunk screws to hold them (x4)
B44 Thumb screws (x4)
B44 carbon lipo tray straps

What you then need to do is drill holes in the chassis x4 from memory to line the posts up so they straps work correctly and then put a 2-3mm spacer under each one before tightening down

Battery wise....

I have both of these as money no object and i wanted the best

LRP 4800 40c Saddles
and
Demon 4200 35c Saddles-230g

Hope this helps

If you need pics of mine let me know it looks the business!

This will work the bollocks!

I have also dremelled 5mm weights into the chassis slots which equals upto 60g. You can put around 30g on each strap or even buy the rudebits brass ones instead if you want so no weights visible.
