Battery Straps

[ridgehead44]

Hey All,

Can someone suggest some 6S-capable battery straps that work well for bashing (and in my case, crashing)? Many thanks in advance!

The ARRMA #ARAC9409 battery strap fits nicely around my 6S pack.
What RC platform are we talking about?

This is for a TC Sketer. The batter case screws in from the bottom, and seats in the chassis. Because of the arrangement, I'm finding it difficult to fit in straps anywhere, except for the middle slots.

I can see how a person would have to bunch up a wider strap while trying to secure the battery tray to the chassis, but I'm assuming that's how the stock straps are able to be used as they seem pretty wide from the pictures that I've seen. Just measure stock straps and approximate the needed length to fit around your battery.

Have you already tried a 4S pack in your Team Corally Sketer? That's gotta be bonkers.

Thank you! I'll try that. I've driven 4S, 15t pinion and it rips pretty good! I've added the 6S system, but haven't run it on 6S yet. I'm honestly a bit scared to, LOL.

Every battery strap I have used so far except Arrma has dropped my battery out the side of the truck. So, I recommend 6s Arrma. Arrma straps are kind of a hook loop combo so they can be cut down to any length.

Thank you! I ordered some of these. Hopefully, they'll do the job!

I use Infraction/Limitless long straps on every truck I own including my Sledge. They work really well.

Have you tried duct tape? It’s a cheap and fast, but temporary solution.
I like my Slash 4X4 Ultimate battery hold-down though, I’ve never had a battery fly out on very common crashes.

 

[ridgehead44]

Hmm. I haven't, but that sounds like good advice. It would let me finish the run if the straps crap out on me. Thank you!

Hope so!

I ended up doing that today, LOL, because the Amazon shipment still hadn't arrived. It worked great!
