T-Works anti-slip battery foam

T-Works have introduced a set of anti-slip battery foams. The strips measure 110x25mm and they are cut from 0.5mm thin material to keep the battery pack as low as possible. Using the foam underneath hardcase LiPo batteries keeps the packs from sliding around, retaining the car’s weight balance even when the going gets touch. The foam strips are usable not only with touring car chassis but also other on-road and off-road vehicles. The set contains two pieces and it is available now.
