I just got my very first Traxxas and short course truck. The stock battery hold-down only accommodates a 2S. How do you guys secure a 3S battery on this thing?

I found it on Amazon. It's in my cart right now. A bunch of guys in my rc club run the Ultimates, I'll see what they are doing before I order this.
It arrived yesterday, and I had it on the track today. Works great! While these types of hold-downs aren't as versatile as the velcro straps, I like the ease and clean look much better. Also, they are way easier to clean all the dirt off, after a day off-roading.Flip the hold down. One side is for 2S the other side is for 3S.
I have the tall one on my slampede 4x4 to run 4S in it. It flexes a lot on band landings and the battery pops out along with the rear of the holder. I just installed one of those velcro things that stick to the bottom of the battery tray in hopes that it helps avoid the battery popping out. I'll still use the hold factory down though.It arrived yesterday, and I had it on the track today. Works great!

So far, it has been working with zero issues. However, I don't bash, just running a dirt course with small jumps. Although, it has taken numerous tumbles.I have the tall one on my slampede 4x4 to run 4S in it. It flexes a lot on band landings and the battery pops out along with the rear of the holder.
