# Wheelie Bar Battery Cover

### Overview

This is a **drop-in replacement for the standard Death Racer battery door**, upgraded with a built-in **wheelie bar**. 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 — no additional brackets or mounts required.
