stick a square piece of lexan or carbon or acrylic etc that fits nice and snug into the 2 cell slot area so you have a sturdy base for the speedo to stick it down to with double sided

As mike said, i have found that the lrp speedos fit well with the cap beside them in the 2 cell position.

I think this is an excellent piece of inter company communication and forward thinking. Well done LRP and XFactory
