Ultimate Racing MBX7 series receiver battery box

Coming from Ultimate Racing and made for Mugen’s MBX7 series of nitro buggies and trucks is a 3-D-printed receiver battery box. Designed to do away with the vehicle’s standard “strap on” design, the box is large enough to take most straight-type receiver batteries while also allowing to leave the connectors inside the box for even greater protection against the elements. The 2-piece part is 3-D-printed from highly impact resistant material and self-locking nuts ensure that the screw threads do not get stripped over time. The box fits both the MBX7 and MBX7R kits.
