Description
A set of gold-plated battery and switch terminals for the MS chassis. Gold plating conducts more efficiently than the kit's standard terminal material and resists corrosion, so contact quality -- and therefore consistent power delivery to the motor -- holds up better over repeated use.
- L and R battery terminals
- A and B switch terminals
- Gold-plated contact surfaces
- For MS chassis
Battery and switch terminals are one of the few electrical contact points in a Mini 4WD car, so resistance or corrosion there directly cuts the voltage reaching the motor, unlike friction losses elsewhere in the drivetrain, which only cost mechanical efficiency. Gold is used here because, unlike the kit-standard plated terminals, it resists the tarnishing that repeated battery swaps and exposure to moisture or hand oils cause over time, keeping contact resistance low race after race instead of climbing as stock terminals oxidize. Being sized for the MS chassis, the L/R battery terminals and A/B switch terminals bolt directly into the stock mounting points without modification.
