Thanks for the input tom, sounds like you've made something similar to the pvc holders I came up with. I'd say good idea if you did. I do enjoy trying to make something work from something I already have vs going out and buying it. Some times it works out great and some time I give in and go buy the original part. I already made some adjustments to the holders. Had some slipping as you suggested but after the adjustments it took a header into a tree right off a jump last night. Battery was held solid but I can't say the same fro the MM. Cheap tape maybe. I make more bad landing then I do good it seems so these are being put to the test. These may be one of the keepers. Made one for the LS10 and have adapted them to fit the 3906 e-maxx for a friend. Looks like they are going to really work out nicely for the e-maxx. It was always a pain to get a 7cell or a large lipo to fit or stay secured in the tray easily. Without makes some mods to the chassis that is. It's pretty hard to see them on the 3906 after they are painted black. He'll need some better velcro straps. The small velcro straps are just used for to test the fit.
Here take a look...
Too bad the padding isn't black. It easy to adjust the weight of the pack from forward to back with these and I can tuck the battery leads and balancing tap inside of the holder. They are working out pretty good for my needs. Those aren't revo shocks on the ls10. They are a hybred - Traxxas long big bores with the larger revo springs. Works nice when it lands on the tires.
