Overview
The FTX Outlaw Aluminium Battery Case Holder (FTX8370) is an essential upgrade for owners of the FTX Outlaw 1/10 4WD Ultra-4 RTR Buggy and FTX Zorro Trophy Truck. This precision-engineered accessory provides a robust and professional solution for safely storing and protecting your LiPo batteries when not in use. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK running multiple battery packs for extended bashing sessions or a competitive racer who demands the best organisation for your setup, this aluminium battery case holder delivers exceptional durability and functionality.
Constructed from high-quality aluminium, this battery case holder represents the kind of quality upgrade that separates serious RC hobbyists from casual users. If you're investing in a ready to run RC buggy like the FTX Outlaw, protecting your battery investment is equally important. This dedicated holder keeps your batteries organised, safe from damage, and easily accessible when you need them.

Designed specifically for compatibility with FTX's popular off-road RC models, this battery case holder fits seamlessly into your existing setup. The aluminium construction ensures excellent durability through countless charging cycles and storage periods, while the thoughtful design keeps your batteries protected from impacts, moisture, and general wear that can occur during transport and storage at the track or bash site.
Key Features
- Aluminium Construction — The battery case holder is manufactured from aluminium, a material choice that provides superior durability and longevity compared to plastic alternatives, ensuring your investment in battery protection lasts season after season.
- FTX Brand Engineering — This is an official FTX accessory developed by the same engineering team behind the Outlaw and Zorro vehicles, meaning it's designed with precise compatibility and the attention to detail that FTX is recognised for throughout the RC hobby community.
- Dedicated Battery Protection — Rather than storing your expensive LiPo packs loosely in a bag or box, this dedicated holder provides structured protection that prevents damage from impacts, compression, and accidental short circuits that can ruin a battery.
- Professional Organisation — For RC enthusiasts running multiple battery packs during weekend bashing sessions or competitive racing, this holder keeps your batteries neatly organised and instantly identifiable, saving time and preventing confusion at the track.
- Compact and Portable — The aluminium case holder is designed to be lightweight and portable, making it easy to transport your battery collection to the track, bash spot, or race event without adding significant weight to your RC car bag.
- Easy Battery Management — The thoughtful design allows quick and easy access to your batteries without requiring you to dig through tangled cables or loose packing materials, keeping your pre-race or pre-bash routine smooth and efficient.
Technical Performance
The FTX Outlaw Aluminium Battery Case Holder represents the kind of practical engineering excellence that backs up FTX's reputation in the ready to run RC vehicle market. Constructed from quality aluminium rather than plastic, this component offers superior impact resistance and longevity, ensuring it will protect your valuable battery investment through years of regular use. The aluminium material choice also means the holder won't crack, warp, or degrade under the heat exposure that occurs during storage near chargers or in sun-warmed vehicles. For owners of brushless RC models like the FTX Outlaw 1/10 4WD Ultra-4 RTR Buggy or the FTX Zorro Trophy Truck, where battery management is critical to maintaining performance and reliability, this holder provides the structural integrity needed for serious hobby use. The precise engineering ensures that regardless of whether you're using 2S, 3S, or 4S LiPo battery packs typical to these vehicles, your batteries are stored safely and organised logically.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What FTX models is this battery case holder compatible with? — This battery case holder is specifically designed for the FTX Outlaw 1/10 4WD Ultra-4 RTR Buggy (both brushed and brushless versions) and the FTX Zorro Trophy Truck. If you own either of these ready to run RC vehicles, this is the ideal accessory for battery storage and protection.
- Why do I need a dedicated battery case holder for my RC car? — LiPo batteries are valuable components that require proper care and storage to maintain their performance and lifespan. A dedicated aluminium case holder protects your batteries from physical damage, prevents accidental short circuits, keeps them organised, and makes it easy to manage multiple battery packs during extended bashing or racing sessions. Without proper storage, your batteries can become damaged, reducing their capacity and potentially creating safety hazards.

This holder is straightforward to use and immediately improves your battery management and organisation.
- What battery types does this holder work with? — This holder is compatible with standard LiPo battery packs used in FTX vehicles, including 2S and 3S configurations commonly found in the Outlaw and Zorro models. The design accommodates the typical size and shape of these battery packs.
- How does this compare to storing batteries in a bag or box? — While informal storage methods might seem sufficient, a dedicated aluminium case holder offers superior protection through structural support that prevents compression and impact damage, better organisation that prevents tangled wires and confusion, easier identification of different battery packs, and a more professional storage solution that shows your commitment to proper RC hobby practice.
