Overview
The FMS FCX24M 12481/82/83 Battery Holder (FMS-C3426) is an essential spare part for RC enthusiasts running FMS scale models, particularly the popular FCX24M series which includes the Discovery, Range Rover, Defender 110, and Tacoma variants. This compact battery holder is designed to securely mount and retain your battery pack within the chassis, ensuring stable weight distribution and reliable electrical connection during high-speed runs across challenging terrain. Whether you're an experienced RC car UK hobbyist or just getting started with scale rock crawling, having a quality battery holder is crucial for maintaining performance and protecting your valuable batteries from damage.
FMS have engineered this battery holder to provide a precise fit for the FCX24M platform, meaning it integrates seamlessly with the existing mounting points and chassis design. The secure fit prevents battery movement during acceleration, cornering, and over rough ground, which helps maintain the vehicle's balance and handling characteristics.

This affordable spare part represents excellent value for money, costing just £2.84 from RC Model Shop, making it an essential addition to your spares box. Whether you're maintaining a single FCX24M or managing a fleet of ready to run RC vehicles, keeping spare battery holders on hand ensures minimal downtime and maximum enjoyment of your RC car UK experience.

If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.

Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
