JConcepts B6.1 swing-operated battery retainer

New from JConcepts and made for Team Associated’s B6.1 based off-road kits is a swing-operated battery retainer. Designed for simplicity, adjustability and quick battery changes, the aluminium rails bolt to the standard B6.1, B6.1D, T6.1 and SC6.1 chassis side rails and with a selection of adjustment holes, can be moved to locate the battery pack fore and aft. The carbon fibre swings include pivoted control by the virtue of steel bushings. The entire assembly is secured using 3x16mm BHCS and the front screw provides the closure control and quick access for battery exchanges. Since there is a lot of variation on the height of the battery packs and what is being used at any given moment, JConcepts has included different spacers to accommodate different heights. When using a tall battery pack, it is necessary to install the tall stand-offs under the aluminium rails to raise the height of the entire assembly and if more height is needed, the included 2mm spacers are installed to raise the carbon fibre swings giving the most amount of height. For low-profile battery packs, no stand-offs are required under the aluminium rails. The set is available in blue or black colours.
