Capricorn LAB TE04 carbon fibre battery mount

Made for their LAB TE04 electric touring car is Capricorn’s new carbon fibre battery mount. Of a floating design the mounts only slightly touch the battery pack, resulting in a more natural chassis flex compared to using reinforced tape. This lead to a more equal left and right turn handling and less unwanted chassis tweak. The set includes a two machined carbon fibre battery retainers, machined and red anodised battery posts as well as mounting hardware.
