7075.it T4 inner brass battery stop

Italian company 7075.it have introduced an inner brass battery stop for the Xray T4 touring car. Machined from heavy brass material and attaching to the right layshaft mount the part acts as a battery stop to keep the LiPo hardcase from hitting the pinion gear or motor shaft. On top of this the part adds valuable 45g of weight in a very central part of the chassis. Using optional shims between the battery stop and layshaft mount allows to alter the weight distribution with 7075.it recommending two 2.5mm shims as starting point.
