Performance balance upgrade by 3Racing

The 3Racing Sakura D5MRGA Graphite Battery Plate SAK-D557/GR is crafted for the Sakura D5 and D5S platform to deliver a lightweight, stiff battery mount. The graphite construction helps keep the centre of gravity tidy while adding resilience where the chassis sees load during hard driving.

Why graphite works well in RC builds

Graphite offers a high strength-to-mass ratio which reduces weight without sacrificing rigidity. Swapping to this plate can sharpen steering feel and improve mid-corner stability, especially on smooth club circuits and indoor tracks.

Installation notes and compatibility

Built to the Sakura D5 mounting layout, the plate installs using standard screws and provides a snug hold for your battery pack to reduce shifting during hard cornering. It is made to endure repeated track use and everyday hobby running.

The plate matches Sakura D5 mounting points so most original straps and clamps fit, though some after market straps may need slight adjustment.
Yes, the stiffer mounting surface reduces local flex around the battery bay which can translate to more predictable handling under load.
The plate is designed for direct replacement using the Sakura D5 hardware; check your parts list for screws and spacers before fitting.
