Side Battery holder for Integy roll cage 2.2

thingiverse

I designed this battery holder using Tinker CAD to minimize weight on my crawler. I placed one on each side to achieve a perfectly balanced weight distribution, which also keeps the tires firmly in contact with the ground. Since I installed the Integy roll cage, there was no suitable spot for a traditional battery placement, so I opted to mount them externally, outside of the cage and out of the way of the tires. When the crawler flips, the batteries receive some protection due to the wide stance of the wheels. Interestingly, I discovered that the added weight significantly improves traction.
