This Battery Tray set is a direct replacement for your kit item and will provide a safe and secure fitting position for your chosen batteries.
Overview
The ARRMA Battery Tray Set, Large Z-AR320351, is an essential upgrade and replacement component for serious RC enthusiasts in the UK who demand reliability and organisation in their RC car setup. Whether you're running an ARRMA Mojave 6S, Talion 6S, Typhon 6S, or any other compatible brushless RC model truck, this battery tray provides the secure mounting platform your valuable LiPo batteries need to perform safely during high-speed runs and competitive racing. Battery management is one of the most critical aspects of RC car ownership, and this purpose-designed tray ensures your batteries are held firmly in place, protected from impacts, and kept away from rotating components that could cause damage or create safety hazards.
Built from super-tough composite material, the ARRMA Large Battery Tray Set has been engineered to withstand the demands of off-road RC driving in all weather conditions, whether you're bashing in British weather or competing at a local track. The integrated design incorporates multiple safety features including dedicated balance plug stowage, wire routing management, and dual hook and loop strap systems that allow you to mount batteries side-by-side or stacked on top of each other depending on your preferred weight distribution and chassis layout. This is the authentic OEM spare part direct from ARRMA, meaning you can be confident you're getting exact fitment and reliability for your investment.
If you're searching for a reliable battery tray for your ready to run RC truck or buggy, the ARRMA Large Battery Tray is the perfect solution. It's not just a basic mounting plate—it's a complete battery management system that integrates seamlessly with your RC car's chassis design and provides the professional-grade organisation that separates casual bashers from serious RC enthusiasts across the UK.
Key Features
- Super-tough composite material construction — The battery tray is manufactured from durable composite material specifically chosen for its ability to withstand impacts, vibrations, and exposure to all weather conditions without cracking, flexing, or degrading, ensuring years of reliable service whether you're running in mud, rain, or on dusty tracks.
- Dual perpendicular hook and loop strap system — Two hook and loop straps fitted at right angles to each other provide redundant security for your batteries, meaning your LiPo pack won't shift or bounce free even during aggressive driving or high-speed landings, with the ability to mount batteries side-by-side or stacked vertically for custom weight distribution.
- Integrated balance plug stowage area — A dedicated storage compartment holds your battery's balance connector securely in place using a rubber retention strap, keeping it away from rotating drivetrain components, spinning tyres, and drive shafts that could otherwise snag or damage the connector and create a short circuit.
- Wire routing clips — Purpose-designed clips attach to the straps and manage the routing of battery-to-ESC power cables, ensuring all wiring runs safely away from the wheels, axles, and other rotating parts of your RC model that could accidentally wrap around and sever connections during aggressive driving.
- Secure battery mounting positions — The combination of structural design and dual strap system allows you to position your batteries exactly where you need them for optimal weight distribution and chassis balance, whether that means mounting a single large pack horizontally or splitting load with two smaller batteries.
- Authentic OEM spare part — This is the genuine ARRMA-manufactured component, ensuring perfect compatibility and build quality that matches the standards of your factory RTR vehicle, not a generic aftermarket alternative.
Technical Performance
The ARRMA Large Battery Tray Set represents precision engineering applied to battery management within the RC car platform. Constructed from reinforced composite material, the tray structure is designed to absorb impacts and vibrations whilst maintaining its shape and securing capability across thousands of running sessions. The specification accommodates batteries measuring up to 48mm in width, 158mm in length, and 70mm in height, providing generous space for most large-format LiPo batteries used in 1/8 and 1/7 scale brushless RC vehicles including the Mojave 6S, Talion 6S, and Typhon 6S platforms. The dual hook and loop strap system operates independently, meaning failure or loosening of one strap still leaves the battery secured by the second strap—a critical safety consideration when running expensive LiPo cells. The included wire routing clip system prevents the common failure mode where ESC power cables become caught on rotating wheels, which could otherwise cut through battery connections mid-run and cause catastrophic electrical failure. The balance plug retention strap uses rubber material for gentle grip without crushing delicate connectors. Every component included in the set—the tray itself, upper brace, receiver box base, wire routing clip, and fastening hardware—has been selected and specified by ARRMA's engineering team for durability and reliability in competitive and recreational RC environments across the UK and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which ARRMA RC vehicles is this battery tray compatible with? — The ARRMA Large Battery Tray Set Z-AR320351 is specifically designed as a direct replacement component for the following ARRMA models: Mojave 6S V2 BLX (both Red/Black and Green/Black versions), 1/7 Talion 6S EXB 4x4 RTR speed truck, Typhon 6S V5 BLX, and 1/8 TLR Tuned Typhon 6S 4WD BLX buggy. If you own any of these ready to run RC vehicles and need to replace a damaged battery tray or want to upgrade your battery management system, this is the authentic OEM component you need.
- What battery sizes does this tray accommodate? — The ARRMA Large Battery Tray accommodates LiPo batteries measuring up to 48mm wide, 158mm long, and 70mm tall. This generous specification covers the vast majority of battery packs used in large-scale brushless RC trucks and buggies, including most 2S, 3S, 4S, and even some 6S battery configurations. If you're using a standard-sized LiPo battery in your Mojave, Talion, or Typhon, this tray will fit securely.
- Can I mount multiple batteries in this tray? — Yes, one of the key advantages of the ARRMA Large Battery Tray design is its flexibility. The dual hook and loop strap system allows you to mount batteries side-by-side for increased total capacity, or position one battery on top of another for custom weight distribution. This flexibility lets you experiment with battery placement to optimise your RC car's handling characteristics and balance.
- What makes this battery tray safer than just using straps? — The ARRMA battery tray offers multiple layers of protection that simple straps cannot provide. The composite structure physically contains the battery and protects it from direct impacts and abrasion. The dual perpendicular hook and loop strap system provides redundant security—if one strap loosens, the battery remains held by the second strap. The dedicated balance plug stowage area with rubber retention strap keeps the battery connector away from rotating drivetrain components that could accidentally snag and damage it. Finally, the wire routing clips ensure your ESC power cables cannot wrap around wheels or axles during driving, which would otherwise sever critical electrical connections and potentially damage your battery and ESC during operation.
- Is this a direct replacement for my ARRMA RC vehicle? — If your ARRMA vehicle came with a battery tray and that tray has become damaged, cracked, or lost, then yes, the Z-AR320351 is the direct factory replacement component. Simply remove the old tray and fastening hardware and install this new one using the included M3 screws and battery box pins. It's one of the most straightforward replacement jobs on any RC car.
- What materials is the battery tray made from? — The battery tray is constructed from super-tough composite material specifically engineered to withstand the high vibrations, temperature variations, and occasional impacts associated with RC off-road driving. Unlike plastic trays that can become brittle over time, ARRMA's composite formulation maintains its structural integrity across thousands of running sessions in British weather conditions and competitive environments.
- Do I need any tools to install this battery tray? — You'll need a small Phillips head screwdriver to install the M3 flat head screws and position the battery box pins. The hook and loop straps require no tools—simply adjust them to fit your battery and press them together. The rubber balance plug retention strap also installs without tools. Installation typically takes just a few minutes.
