Guys... WHY are you all worried about "replacing" these battery trays?? Why not just remove them and put velcro in the bottom of the hull??

Ooooohhh! You're talking about simply adhering a single strip to the inside bottom of the hull and a single strip under the battery. I thought you were talking about using velcro straps. I must admit, and this is not from experience, but I would be afraid of a heavy 4S 5000mah (or bigger) battery coming loose without being strapped down. If using the hook-n-loop type, would it sit stable? 3M Dual Lock would work for sure. It has interlocking beads (mating sides are identical). This is a very strong product that would definitely hold the battery in and hold it steady, but it's so strong, replacing the battery would require more force than I would care to apply for such a task. Without a doubt, you have way more experience than me, so I'm assuming you've used the single strip method with hook&loop on a deep V FE in chop and it worked perfectly. On a Revolt, the bottom of the hull is not horizontal, so you would have to lay the battery at an angle and decide on laying the battery on the right of the v or left of the v. Have you biased the battery to one side without noticeable handling issues? I guess if you're racing, maybe right bias could be a good thing.
