Default TRF501X LiPo Tray

Back in stock.

Tray is attached using the same holes as the original battery posts. No need to modify the chassis. You can also use the original battery posts and battery plates. The cradle is 69x47mm, so most saddle pack lipos fit.
The tray also fits the 511, but please note that you will have to remove some material from the center bulkhead in order to fit a LiPo.
I also have a 511 LiPo tray that moves the LiPo back ~4 mm to clear the center bulkhead.

Slim design fits both 501X and Azarashi body.


2 Piece tray is made by Fibre-Lyte in 2.4 mm carbon.

The fit of the slim design is nice.

Attached a is a picture of the trays installed with undertray and GM 4200mAh saddle pack lipos.

Looks great Fredrick!

How much are these to buy posted to the UK?? Do you have any plans for a brass version, as the 511 tray from Rude bits is not a direct fit to the 501

Thanks Mof that the feedback!

Mark, I´m on it.

There is plenty of room between the tray parts. So it is possible to add some weight there. As you can see I also have fitted the diff cover on the 501X.

The carbon tray cost 20 euros. Shipping 3 euros.

I've had my weights attached to the lipos themselves (see pic), but with these trays, there would be room between the trays to fit them too, and I might actually move them there instead.
