Team Bomber AK12 Quick Battery Holder Set

Japanese 1:12 specialists Team Bomber has released this optional Quick Battery Holder Set for its AK12 series 1:12 chassis. It was developed to improve the disadvantages of standard tape-fixed battery installations, such as the hassle of replacing the tape and the possibility of the tape breaking due to interference with the road surface, causing the battery to move. Removing the battery from the quick battery holder set is really easy. First, remove the centr eshock, loosen the two screws that secure the battery holding plate, and remove the plate to quickly access the battery. In addition, battery positioning, which has been ambiguous until now, can be done reliably by replacing the included 3D battery plate, which is also useful for quantifying settings.
