Default Carbon Fibre Mad Monkey Battery Strap

Been getting fed up with the plastic battery strap you get with the
Mad Monkey especially as my car is a X2C with a Monkey Chassis so
it looks a bit odd and it flexes to the point that I lose the body pins holding it on sometimes.
so to make it stop flexing and also so my car looks more like its suppose to I have designed a CF version its just a prototype at the moment.
What do you think
( I'll upload a pic of the finished part once it has been manufactured)

Personally I've had no problems with the plastic battery strap, but I do flip it so that it holds the battery tight rather than having slack.

this will stop having to flip the strap and most importantly make it look more like a x2c

Looks cool. I`d have one but without your initial on it.

Also i didnt know you could flip the strap, as i got mine in with the 2 smooth straight bits facing down to keep battery tight.

I have one made now tested it and its fine plus it looks a lot better
Than a plastic one
I can get them made with or without your initials
In the middle for £30 however if enough people want them the cost will
£25 as i can get them cheaper in bulk.
I can also create custom:
Shock towers
T pieces
Front kick up plates ( work in progress)
Chassis
And carbon fibre/ plastic hybrid wishbones ( work in progress)
