Revolution Design Tungsten Battery Weights

New from Germany’s Revolution Design come these two Tungsten Battery Weights.  The Shorty Battery Weight is a precision-ground 0.5mm tungsten plate that adds 42 grams of ballast directly beneath any 95 mm shorty LiPo pack.  Because tungsten has a density of about 19.3 g/cm³—more than twice that of brass (≈ 8.5 g/cm³) and steel (≈ 7.8 g/cm³) – the plate can be less than half as thick as common 1–1.2 mm brass or steel alternatives.  The lower profile lets the battery sit roughly 0.7 mm deeper in the tray, dropping the car’s centre of gravity for crisper turn-in and more stable landings on high-grip tracks. Machined edges and a matte finish give the plate a premium look, while the raw tungsten resists corrosion without additional coatings.  Using the same 0.5 mm tungsten architecture as its shorty sibling, the full-length 2S stick pack Tungsten Battery Weight adds a concentrated 60 gram exactly where racers want it, under the LiPo and as low as mechanically possible.
