Schelle B5M carbon fibre battery strap

New from Schelle Racing Innovations comes a carbon fibre battery strap for the mid-motor B5M buggy. The innovative design allows racers to remove the front battery foams, shedding additional weight and opening up the chassis for more ESC placement options while holding the cells secure. The second design feature is the narrow rear tongue which allows chassis flex through the entire range of motion without contacting the rear chassis brace. The brace also reduces the weight of the battery mount from 14g to 7g while stainless steel screws and aluminium locknuts act as an adjustable battery stop.
