JConcepts B6 Reedy low profile battery mount

Following yesterday’s release of JConcepts’s Reedy Zappers compact battery brace for the Team Associated B6 series of buggies, the proactive company has now added a second brace to their Shapeways store. Purpose-designed for Reedy’s 3900mAh 70C low-profile shorty LiPo pack the battery brace is of a very reduced design that allows for more clearance between the body, brace and fastening system while being an adjustable and light-weight alternative to the stock unit. The 3-D-printed part is available in JConcepts’s Shapeways store now and designed to fit the #319 Reedy LiPo 3900mAh 70C 7.4 LP Shorty pack and all batteries of the exact same dimensions.
