Coming from 7075.it are new Xray T4’19-specific brass option parts in the form of a battery holder and battery plate. Starting with the battery holder, the part attaches to the layshaft mount and it acts as a battery stop in order to prevent the LiPo pack from moving under various racing conditions. The item was redesigned to allow the use of countersunk hardware while the new appearance also sets it apart from counterfeit products. Also new is the brass battery plate that uses the mirrored motor pocket under the battery pack, ensuring a more equal weight distribution when running low weight packs. The plate is available for carbon fibre or aluminium chassis and like the battery holder it is of a new design to set it apart from other products on the market.
