Holder for battery
 
Is there a holder for the car battery or will I have to make it? My idea is to make a car that can be used as a single cell or duel cell by using male and female wire connections and a battery holder. this way you won't have to solder a battery. it is easy to change both batteries. it is easy to switch between single cell to duel cell and vise versa. this should be cool if i can find the parts and it should add relatively little weight to the car.


your comments are greatly appreciated.

I havent seen any, but you might be able to craft some out of some balsa wood, or plastic or something.

Velcro

Velcro would work. But what I am looking for is something that you can plug the battery in without soldering. Something that would have the spring, contacts and wires with it. This setup would add huge flexibility. It would allow you to race around a course and drag race with the same car. You could use any cobination of batteries you wished. with the quick-connects it would be very easy to switch from single cell to duel cell. with the battery holder, you take care of the hassle of soldering directly to the battery.

I've heard of people taking a 2 cell AA holder from radio shack and trimming it down to the 1/3AA size needed for these. But that was in a custom chassis that could hold it.

I was thinking about velcoing it on top.
