Tamiya LiPo battery holder for bathtub chassis CC01 TA01/2/3 DF01 FF01

LiPo battery holder for Tamiya TA01/02/03, FF01, DF01, CC01 chassis with integrated LiPo monitor case

Companies like LRP sell LiPo batteries that are round and fit the bathtub chassis of old Tamiya cars. However, the batteries are about 5 mm longer than equivalent NiMH packs and therefore the standard battery holder does not fit anymore.

This part solves the issue. The holder is inserted from the top and the 3 lugs hold the battery in place. A body clip secures battery holder by being inserted in the middle lug between the battery and the chassis.

The battery lock also has an (optional) mount for the standard 1-8S LiPo monitors.
