Race-Focused Graphite Plate for Sakura D5

The 3Racing SAK-D5629/RE graphite battery plate is aimed at drivers who want a precise, repeatable battery location for competitive Sakura D5 and D5S setups. Fabricated from stiff graphite, the plate reduces unwanted movement while trimming mass for a more responsive chassis.

Technical Benefits for Tuning

Graphite's stiffness and low weight help refine the car's dynamic response and lower the centre of gravity, which aids transient behaviour during quick direction changes. This makes it easier to tune suspension and steering for consistent lap times.

Fitment and Race Reliability

Engineered to mate cleanly with the Sakura D5/D5S battery bay, the SAK-D5629/RE accepts standard competition pack sizes and clamps them securely to minimise energy-absorbing motion. The accurate fit helps preserve setup across heats and qualifying runs.

How does the plate affect chassis balance for racing?

Lowering unsprung mass and reducing battery movement tightens the chassis balance, allowing more predictable weight transfer during high speed cornering.

Any recommended fastener torque or lock methods?

Use thread locker where appropriate and secure fasteners to the chassis manufacturer recommendations to prevent loosening during extended race use.

Is this plate suited for tuning weight distribution?

Yes. Its light, stiff nature lets you make small ballast or battery position changes without adding stack-up from the mount itself, helping fine tune front to rear balance.
