The battery top strap is missing; i havent run the car for awhile ;) but you get the idea. Beside the battery posts i used 4 servo posts and scrap graphite material. The servo and servo saver were swapped over from right to left

not easy to see from this small picture. but I can't put the battery like that way on my narrow Hotdog4 ( = YR4) chassis for off road.

I found a better app. This should be bigger...
The chassis of the hotdog is large enough to do this, but I don't know whether the body will still fit.

1/8" thick shock towers and G10 top deck. thanks to GoMachV.
the clearance between the battery and the belt is now 2mm with the epoxy holders :D
