Does anyone else have trouble securing the battery straps in the granite 4x4 blx? Any tips that would make it easier?

Before you put the battery in, make the two straps into the biggest loops you can. Slide the battery I to the loops and then tighten them down. That works for me on normal size batteries. With my big graphenes I have to move the buckle out so I can grab it easily.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

I had the same problem. I ended up just pulling the loop end of the strap up a bit higher. Unfortunately it cuts down on the amount the straps lock together but it does make it much easier. The battery still seemedpretty secure tho.

I also pull the plastic loops up a but but right after you feed the velcro through it just pull the plastic loop back down to the base. Then you have the full lock...

I actually never thought of doing it that way lol.

When I first got this I was thinking what a weird strap situation and kept trying to feed it through where it was normally then I was like, oh ya, be smarter than a velcro strap LOL!

This is how I do it as well. Before I figured this out I was using a small pair of tweezers to grab the velcro. Now I work smarter not harder!

Gonna try that^. I have a hard time getting the battery in. My 3s batter is a bit slimmer so it fits in easier but the 2s is a pain.

 

[Jim Laffey]

I will definitely try this, thanks for the pic.
