Lightweight carbon plate for Sakura D5S installations

The 3Racing Sakura D5S Carbon Fiber Battery Plate, model SAK-D526, is a slim, strong alternative to the OEM tray. Built from quality carbon fibre, the plate lowers mass while maintaining a robust mounting surface, making it a sensible choice for drivers wanting crisper steering feel without complex mods.

Why carbon fibre helps handling

Because carbon fibre is stiff and light, swapping to this plate shifts weight distribution and reduces unsprung inertia. That change often results in cleaner turn-in and better stability under load, especially on tighter tracks.

Quick tips for a tidy fit

Install using the existing chassis screws and seat the plate so it sits flush with the battery bay. Recheck fasteners after a few runs and before any competitive events to avoid unwanted movement.

The plate supports typical Sakura D5S battery layouts; slim or low-profile packs fit best. Larger packs may need shims or different securing methods to sit correctly.
The plate itself is very thin so it should not noticeably alter ride height. Any change in handling will come mainly from the reduced mass rather than an altered stance.
In most cases the stock screws work fine. If your factory screws are worn or the heads are rounded, replace them with the correct size to ensure a secure fit.
