Flux battery box latches..A close up..pics

I don't see how these come undone. My gift to you guys.

In this first picture you can see how the latch is tucked under the plastic. It's very tight and I find it hard to beleve they pop out.

In this picture you can see it not properly latched. It was about the best I could do by hand because it's such a tight fit.

This picture shows you how to get it to latch 100%.

I have a feeling most people are doing what pic #2 looks like and it just pops off. When they are latched right it forces the plastic tab away from the truck and locks it in. It's not going to pop out from what I see. Any thoughts??

I have latched mine down all the way and they still pop out... Almost everyone I've talked to with a Flux has had this similar problem.

Maybe you arnt bashing hard enough!! bad driver

lol I don't even have my LiPo's yet. This was just from me looking at it and not latching right and catching my own mistake. Maybe they changed it because it's a pita to latch mine, I have to use the slotted screwdriver. I also noticed that the box has to snap shut, I'm not talking about the clips the outer lid area. If thats not snaped shut the clips don't snap in. If the clips are snaped in and these rubber latches are forced up under it I don't see how it can come undone?

Yes I have hard there are lots of problem on there latch's. Not a great sight watching them +$100 packs sliding down the road next to the Truck. Just grab some Velcro and wrap around it. This is what I did to my buddy's as well when I helped him set it up.

Ditto, I put a nice velcro strap around mine and don't have to worry anymore.

I'm not running lipos yet, but I have had the same prob with the batteries flying out! I started using the velcro straps also, I did not even mess with the rubber tab covers. The velcro works pretty well, I have still launched the batteries once with the velcro (The box said backflips not cartwheels! my bad):lmao3:

We also noticed what you have shown in the pics. We too, pulled the tab out to allow the rubber piece to seat better under it. After trying this the box would still come apart as the rubber pieces now pulled out from the box lid. Velcro or heavy duty zip ties are the only way to fly!!!
