3Racing SAK-D526 Sakura D5S Carbon Battery Tray  [SAK-D526]

Swap in a carbon battery tray for sharper chassis feel

The 3Racing Sakura D5S Carbon Fiber Battery Plate, model SAK-D526, is a lightweight, stiff replacement for the stock tray. Constructed from carbon fibre, the plate reduces vehicle weight and provides a firmer attachment area for the battery, helping the Sakura D5S hold its line through bends.

How carbon improves on the stock part

Carbon fibre combines reduced mass with high stiffness, which lowers inertia and improves response to steering inputs. Drivers often notice cleaner midcorner behaviour and steadier acceleration when using a stiffer battery mounting surface.

Practical fitting and upkeep advice

Use the correct drivers and torque the screws evenly when fitting the plate to avoid runout. Check fastener tightness after several sessions and inspect for wear or delamination if the car has been clipped in impacts.
