Compact Battery Stopper for DF-03 Chassis

The Tamiya 53949 lightweight battery stopper pin offers a compact, metal alternative to the standard stopper on the DF-03 chassis. Its aluminium construction reduces unnecessary bulk while polyacetal covers at contact points guard against scuffs and wear to the battery and mount. This part provides a clean, durable method to secure the pack without altering the chassis geometry.

Will this pin work with shorty and standard battery packs?

It secures the common DF-03 battery layouts; check pack length against your tray to ensure the stopper contacts the battery correctly.

Can I run this part on track days without extra modifications?

Yes, it is suitable for track use; inspect the covers and pin between sessions to maintain reliable retention.

Does the aluminium stop pin require any special tools to fit?

Fitting typically needs only basic hand tools used for DF-03 maintenance; no specialist tools are required.

Are there upgrade paths if I want even lighter components?

For further weight saving you can explore other aluminium or carbon replacement parts, but balance durability against weight for practical performance.

How should I care for the polyacetal covers to prolong life?

Keep them clean from grit and avoid aggressive solvents; if they show wear replace them to protect the battery and chassis.
