Technical Performance
The FTX Tracker Battery Tray is a precision-moulded component engineered to meet the exacting standards of FTX's off-road RC vehicle range. This hop-up part has been developed through years of RC vehicle design and testing to ensure it can handle the extreme stresses that battery mounting experiences during high-speed runs, jumps, and technical rock crawling. The tray is specifically dimensioned to accommodate standard RC LiPo batteries used in 1/10 scale and smaller electric RC cars and trucks. Its robust design prevents battery shift during hard cornering, sudden acceleration, and impact landings, which is critical for maintaining consistent weight distribution and vehicle balance. The component integrates with the FTX Tracker's chassis architecture, working in conjunction with the suspension system and frame to create a stable platform for your battery. Whether you're running 2S or 3S LiPo batteries commonly used in electric RC buggies and crawlers, this tray provides the secure mounting necessary for reliable performance across varied driving conditions. The material composition ensures longevity whilst remaining lightweight enough not to add unnecessary mass to your RC vehicle.
What's in the Box
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FTX Tracker Battery Tray compatible with other FTX vehicles? — This battery tray is designed specifically for the FTX Tracker RC model. Whilst FTX manufactures many different vehicles across various scales and classes, each model has its own dedicated chassis and components. If you own a different FTX model such as the Outback, Carnage, or another FTX RC vehicle, you would need to verify compatibility or obtain the correct tray for your specific model. Always check the FTX Tracker compatibility before purchasing.
- When should I replace my battery tray? — You should consider replacing your battery tray if you notice visible cracks, splits, warping, or if it no longer securely holds your battery in place. Even minor damage can lead to battery movement during driving, which affects weight distribution and vehicle handling. Regular inspection of your battery tray is part of good RC vehicle maintenance, especially if you frequently bash or jump your RC car.
- What battery type does the FTX Tracker Battery Tray accommodate? — This tray is designed for standard RC LiPo batteries commonly used in FTX Tracker vehicles. FTX Tracker models typically run 2S or 3S LiPo batteries depending on the specific variant. You should consult your FTX Tracker manual or check the manufacturer specifications to confirm the correct battery capacity and cell count for your vehicle before installation.
- How difficult is it to install this replacement battery tray? — Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC vehicle maintenance experience. You'll need to remove your current battery, unbolt the old tray from the chassis, fit the new FTX Tracker Battery Tray in its place, and secure it according to your vehicle's manual. Most RC enthusiasts can complete this replacement in just a few minutes with basic tools. If you're new to RC maintenance, RC Model Shop's team of experts can provide guidance.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, this is a straightforward replacement part suitable for RC enthusiasts at all levels. If you own an FTX Tracker and need to replace a damaged battery tray, this is exactly what you need. Installation requires minimal mechanical knowledge, making it accessible even for those new to hands-on RC maintenance and repair.
- Can I use my FTX Tracker without a proper battery tray? — We don't recommend operating your FTX Tracker RC vehicle without a proper battery tray. A secure battery mounting is essential for safety and performance. Without a proper tray, your LiPo battery could shift during driving, affecting your vehicle's handling and weight distribution. Additionally, an unsecured battery poses a safety risk during transport and operation. Always use a proper battery tray designed for your vehicle.
