Default predator battery post's in a 501x

I know i'm a bit behind the times but i've had a 501 for months and still not ran it because of the trakpower lipos not fitting,this week finally got round to sorting the problem,not wanting to dremmel the post's,i thought i would try some pred post's as they are thinner.
What is it with screws in all these high end buggies,had to dremmel a slot in 3 501 screws and 3 pred screws not to mention 1 in a cat sx which also cut the carbon chassisany way here's the result.
cheers Peter.

Make sure you've got some high quality tools fella! Hudy, EDS, AE are all good!
Also make sure the driver is square to the screw head, this should minimise stripping any screws. Oh and dont use tooo much thread lock.
