I just find it funny they made an effort to save one of the holes but deleted the other one... then mounted the cup there anyway and it looks like they put screws through the middle of the cup, LOL (I have a bigger pic) Those screws are a nice little chassis ground for when they wear through the battery casing, Haha...

I like the design but the overall condition is too poor for me.

It's like the chassis itself is in shock and crying, "OMG WTF HAVE YOU DONE?!?!"
