NathoBuilds B74 O-ring battery strap

NathoBuilds have introduced their new O-ring battery strap for the Team Associated B74 buggy. The battery strap offers a secure adjustment of the shorty LiPo pack and unlike the kit carbon strap with two nuts, these battery straps stay secure to the battery pack and make it quicker for the driver to change the pack over. The owner also can change whether he would like the battery pack back or forward by just swapping the plastic strap mounts over. The O-ring holds the pack secure enough to keep it in place, but also flexible enough to allow for the chassis to flex underneath. The O-ring straps are centrally located to the battery strap, so the O-ring is securely located in whatever battery position, ensuring accessibility to the battery and balancer tubes.
