It’s designed specifically for racers running the **rubber track/tread upgrade**, where the increased traction can cause the vehicle to **flip backward on launch**. By integrating the wheelie bar into the existing battery cover location, this mod keeps your setup compact, clean, and battle-ready β€” no additional brackets or mounts required.
