Racing-grade battery plate from 3Racing

The 3Racing Sakura D5MRGA Graphite Battery Plate, SAK-D557/GR, is a purpose engineered upgrade for Sakura D5 and D5S platforms. Its graphite construction reduces unsprung weight and enhances structural stiffness in the battery bay, supporting predictable chassis behaviour under aggressive setup and high cornering loads.

Technical benefits of graphite in race setups

Graphite provides high stiffness with minimal mass, allowing finer control over weight distribution and chassis roll characteristics. For competitors, this translates to more consistent corner entries and improved feedback during suspension tuning and tyre choices.

Fitment details and installation guidance

Manufactured to match Sakura D5 mounting geometry, the plate installs using original fasteners and secures the battery firmly to limit slippage during on-track impacts. Inspect mounting hardware torque and clearances when integrating with aftermarket battery tie-downs or foam supports.

What impact does the SAK-D557/GR have on chassis roll and balance?

The stiffer battery mounting reduces local flex, which can tighten mid-corner balance; teams should re-evaluate sway bar rates and springs after fitting.

Any recommended setup changes after fitting this plate?

Typical adjustments include slight rearward weight distribution or softer rear damping to regain rotation if the car feels too neutral. Use telemetry or lap feedback to iterate.

Is this plate compatible with common race battery profiles?

It accepts standard stick and low profile race packs used in Sakura D5 builds, but verify pack thickness against chassis clearances before finalising mount position.
