Fit the MD1.0LTS with a Light Graphite Battery Plate

The Yokomo MD-118PL Graphite Battery Plate is produced for the MD1.0LTS chassis to provide a high battery mounting option. Manufactured from graphite, the plate reduces mass while positioning the battery for improved fore-aft balance, helping to refine handling and stability on the circuit.

Why Graphite Helps on the Track

Graphite is prized for its stiffness-to-weight ratio, giving you a mount that is both light and durable. Using the MD-118PL tends to stabilise dynamic weight transfer, helping drivers maintain traction during rapid direction changes and while accelerating out of corners.

Precision Fit for MD1.0LTS Geometry

Engineered to match the MD1.0LTS layout, the Yokomo MD-118PL integrates cleanly with the chassis mounting points. By lifting the battery position, it can subtly shift grip balance and make steering response crisper for lap-focused setups.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Yokomo items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Is this plate backwards compatible with older MD variants?

The MD-118PL is tailored for the MD1.0LTS and may not align with older MD chassis without modification. Verify mounting point positions if you plan to fit it to a different version.

Will using graphite affect durability during hard use?

Graphite provides good strength for typical racing loads. While lighter than metal, it is well suited to resist normal stresses; inspect for cracks after heavy impacts and replace if damaged.

Should I change suspension settings after fitting the plate?

Shifting the battery alters balance, so expect to tweak spring rates, rebound or anti-roll bars to restore desired handling. Small incremental changes are recommended to find the best setup.
