Battery too big?!

[tha5150]

i have the Ofna Hyper 8 with the RCM battery tray. i bought the tray too small and have been standing it up on its side to fit into the tray. yesterday after i painted a new body i couldnt put the body on without it hitting the battery. i ended up cutting 1 side off the tray and laying it down. of course, worried that the battery wasnt as secure i decided to take it slow and see if the velcro got loose around turns or whatever... 20 seconds into the first run, a guy came out with a Nitro saying blablabla, im faster.. laughing my butt off, i said, ok lets go once around the track, i bet i am 8 seconds faster. of course, i was but on the last jump before the final straight i decided to show off a bit and jump it EXTREMELY high... well, that worked out just fine and i won the 8 second bet.... but my buggy flipping over the finish line from a bad land wasnt nice..
the battery never came loose from about 10 tumbles...
my final words... if you have to make any adjustments, MAKE SURE IT IS ALL SECURE. modifying things is all part of the fun. although is sucks cutting off 1/4 of what you paid for. :)

glad to see it worked out for you with your mod..

thanks guys.
Think I may have made the wrong choice here!! I have gone for more volts and lower kv which I thought was the way to go but seems you all think 5s is too much for a buggy.
I nearly bought a truggy but couldn't resist the losi 8 1.0 for £180!
