How do people attach batteries to their Droidworx frame

[ZAxis]

Moving across from an MK Hexa to a Droidworx AD3X-HL and I find the way to attach the battery seems less secure and slower to do than the MK.
The MK has a nice box to slip the battery into with a velcro strap secure it. The Droidworx has only a simple velcro strap. Is this good in practice or does anyone have their own preferred arrangement?

it works better and is quite secure if you use a brick type lipo rather than a flat MK lipo.

We are using brick shaped LiPos and with the single strap it seemed to move easily from side to side. The only thing preventing it sliding out was hitting the leg brace of the landing gear. The flat MK one would have missed it and gone flying off into space, so we won't be using that one.

Yes and there cheaper than the flat mk lipo .

Hey Andy,

Been using the DW single battery strap with two 4s 6000mah batteries for quit some time with no problem. Just get it cinched down tight.

Andy, if you are worried about the batterys falling out, then stick a strip of foam padding on the top of the lipo with double sided tape asuming the battery carrier is the same as my AD-4 which then the foam padding molds around the carbon tubes. Mine dont budge at all, you would have to be doing hard stick banging for them to fall out, which I'm sure you're not going to be doing.

Thanks for the reassurance guys.
I like your idea Rob, I'll give it a try.
