PPD EZ-LiPo Battery Mounting system

PPD EZ-LiPo Battery Mounting system

RC Tech user Verndog posted up pictures of this great looking 2 piece LiPo battery mounting system that he has created. Made of polished 303 stainless steel, it is precision CNC machined and it will lock into all 6 chassis slots and even allow you to use the stock battery strap. The weight goes right where it’s best placed, low to chassis and toward outer edge and using this will bring you close to an exact match of your NiMh weight in terms of balance. Currently this is a prototype for the TC5 but expect some other pieces made for other popular touring cars in the future.
