Product Description
This is an aftermarket battery holder designed to fit the Kyosho Rocky RC car from the 1980's.
Designed for 7.2V NiCd/NiMH 6 cell stick pack battery length: 132mm maximum, measured on top edge.
Unique release mechanism is easy to use yet won't allow battery to fall out during driving.
This battery holder snaps into place to hold the main battery so it doesn't fall out of the chassis.
This is much faster and easier to use than the plastic zip tie or battery holding strap from the stock setup.
How to install:
How to uninstall:
1. Press down on battery holder release tab while sliding to the right until tab exits tie down strap hole.
2. Remove battery pack.
Note: This is the 6mm version designed for 7.2V NiCd and NIMH battery packs that are no longer than 132mm in length end-to-end measured at the top edge. The "6mm" refers to the width of the battery holder between the edge of the clip and the right-angle drop down that holds the battery in place.
Eyeballing it: If the battery pack does not stick out of the Rocky chassis when installed while looking down from the top, then this 6mm holder should work fine. If the battery pack sticks out beyond the chassis, then the 8mm version is what you need.
An 8mm version of the battery holder is also available (see store listing) which accomodates slightly longer battery packs, such as NiCd 2400mAh, NIMH 5000mAh or similar which are no longer than 134mm in length end-to-end measured at the top edge.
Each battery pack manufacturer has different lengths, even for similar mAh ratings, so be sure to check which size you need before ordering or just order both battery holders to be safe.
Why not just buy the 8mm version and forget about this 6mm version?
Answer: Because a shorter battery pack will slide side-to-side in the battery slot and slam against the chassis battery holding tab and this battery holder and the impact force could break the tab or holder if done repeatedly.
If you have a battery pack that is longer than 134mm, please contact me and we can discuss a longer version of the holder to accomodate your needs.
