Looking for modern replacement for RC10 battery cups
This is for a AYK super trail I'm working on. I will make myself a plate to fix the battery on. I'd like to find some battery holder system similar to the RC10 but with a cum a bit wider for my NiMh batteries. Maybe something from Tamiya or another brand. Can't find what I'm looking for but I'm sure there is something out there...
Any suggestions? Thanks

How about the PureTech-type velcro system?

Doesn't look retro, but super functional.

Well I don't really like the velcro approach... I'm hoping to find some type of battery cups..

The RC10 battery cup is 1-15/16 inches on the inside if that helps. Bolt on or good servo tape to mount.

Re: Looking for modern replacement for RC10 battery cups
You could split the AE cups down the middle and double stick them to the chassis at the correct width. Then to fabricate a longer hold down strap should be easy. If you don't like the gap then two cups could be cut and combined to make one wider cup with no gap.
