Upgrade your Sakura D4 with a lightweight aluminium battery tray

The 3Racing Sakura D4 Aluminum Battery Tray SAK-D4836/BK upgrades the battery mounting area to cut flex and stabilise the pack on the Sakura D4 chassis. The aluminium construction gives a firmer foundation for the battery and supports more consistent handling across different surfaces.

Why pick aluminium for the battery mount

An aluminium tray reduces chassis movement under load, keeping the battery fixed and helping with repeatable weight transfer. That stability often leads to improved turn-in and more reliable mid-corner balance for club and local racing conditions.

Simple installation pointers

Installing the tray is straightforward. Fit the tray into the battery bay and secure all fasteners evenly. Check that wiring and securing straps clear the tray and consider pairing this part with other 3Racing aluminium upgrades to maintain balance and feel.

Yes, aftermarket straps will work provided they match the tray mounting points and keep the battery secure during hard driving.
Expect a firmer feel and slightly altered balance due to reduced flex; adjustments to ride height and camber may be useful after fitting.
No trimming should be needed for a standard Sakura D4, but always dry-fit parts before final tightening to confirm clearance.
Aluminium adds some mass compared with plastic, but it brings improved stiffness and predictable weight distribution that many racers prefer.
