H2 Racing Development TRF420/419MM battery hooks

Coming soon from H2 Racing Development are new carbon fibre battery holders for their Tamiya TRF420MM and TRF419MM mid-motor conversion kits. Machined from high-quality Torayca carbon fibre for a low weight and exceptional durability the adjustable battery mounts are usable with H2RD’s own MM chassis plates while the mounts will also fit the 419X and 419XR original chassis plates, however this requires some easy to perform modifications to the main plates. Due to the design of the chassis, the hooks are not usable with the original TRF419 chassis. The battery mount set, that uses fibre-reinforced tape to secure the battery, is available for pre-order now and it will become available around early March.
