I have weight stuck to the sides (both inside and outside) of my LiPo pack to help keep the mass close to where it would be with NiMH packs...and still plenty of area on top for tape!

I found that using a quality tape helps hold the batteries in place more securely. I'm using the and typically will use the same piece all night at a club night with no loss in adhesion. The strap is indeed designed to reduce tweak as the strap can flex and move slightly as the chassis flexes. Personally, I just found this tape to be just as convenient.... |

Use what you wish then. I have weights on my strap for my lipo so tape wouldn't work for me...[head duck] yes I know it's raising the CG but really, I don't care. My car is being converted to VTA so really it's not going to matter. |

Having the weight on the lipo has never been an option for me. Running multiple classes in different cars the lipo has always needed to be the shape it is. I added the weight to the car the best I could to compensate. A small amount of weight on the strap hasn't affected the handling at all. |

Understandable... I'm running foam and rubber TC at the moment....so I've made the same batteries work in both my T2'008US and T2'009EU. |
