Default new lipo retainer

i was thinking about a better way to retain my trakpower 4900 lipo in the CAT as i wasn't too keen on gluing the carbon battery retainers (the battery is used in my 2WD). i didn't want to use velcro as the 4900 is too tall to get velcro under the strap and still hook over the front locating pin without looking silly.

anyway - i designed a new 3mm thick carbon retainer that uses existing holes in the chassis and holds the battery in really well - picture attached. it basically holds the battery against the servo / front bulkhead and stops the back of the pack moving left/right/backwards

although the retainer is designed for trakpower 4900's, it should hold TP 3200/3800's (although i haven't tested them)
