The Bowhouse DR10 Carbon Fiber Battery Strap is a custom option that allows simplified battery position adjustment, with the custom look of carbon fiber. The carbon fiber battery strap is secured by a clasp attached to the gearbox/rear bulkhead, combined with an ultra lightweight one piece steering servo mount with body clip post on top. The battery strap features adjustable battery stay tabs that allow you to adjust the position of the battery in the chassis, so you can fine-tune weight distribution. This allows use of different length packs without having to add or remove foam blocks. Plus, when compared to the hook/loop type battery straps, it allows a more conventional installation/removal of batteries.
Note for carbon fiber chassis setups:
This tie-down system works great with the Drag Race Concepts carbon fiber DR10 chassis with the addition of optional Bowhouse Battery Stays (BWH-BDR-0015 - not included) stays to keep the battery from shifting side-to-side. The stock DR10 steering servo post-style brackets also work great as side stays when secured to the chassis with M3 screws through the battery strap slots.
This upgrade has not been tested with other carbon fiber chassis setups. It should work on other setups as long as the relative positions of the rear bulkhead and steering servo mounts are the same position as the stock chassis, and free of obstructions above the battery tray area or steering servo. However, there is no guarantee that this will work on setups other than the chassis' that have been tested.
Installation Notes:
- Remove the steering servo and posts from the chassis and save the hardware.
- Mount the steering servo to the included steering servo mount and reattach the servo and mount to the chassis using the stock hardware.
- Remove the 2x M3x10mm screws that secure the front of the rear gearbox to the back of the chassis.
- Install the included rear clasp on top of those two gearbox mounting holes with the clasp facing forward using the included M3x16mm screws.
- Insert the carbon fiber brace into the clasp. Test to make sure the brace can be secured to the body post on top of the steering servo mount using the included body clip and that the brace can pivot up and down freely when not secured to the body post.
- Install 1 or both upper battery stay tabs into slot on carbon fiber brace and adjust location to secure your battery in your preferred position.
