However, judging by the crashes and jumps I had with it yesterday, I don't anticipate it breaking anytime soon. I actually asked this exact same question to Dan (owner of RCPD) and he said that putting a little strip of velcro on the bottom of the tray really helps, and that the only time the strap has a chance of breaking is if you lawn dart a jump. I just put some foam padding on all sides of the tray and some extra soft foam at the ends of the battery.
That is exactly when my strap broke... LAWN DART!!! Maybe I should try adding some velcro to the bottom... Thanks!
