Description
Run bigger, taller batteries in your Arrma Mini Kraton with a simple drop-in upgrade. This carbon fiber battery latch and Kevlar strap replaces the stock latch and clip, giving you extra height and a stronger, more secure hold in minutes.
Our latch is precision-cut 4mm carbon fiber, paired with a 3D Abilities Kevlar strap. The kit includes a longer screw + nut and a spacer buffer that sits between the chassis and the carbon fiber plate for added support and strength. Install time is typically under 5 minutes.
