My kit was finished in late September and my frame does not have the X brace in front like the first Mk5's it has the tabs to mount the battery tray. This is the battery tray I received in my box and it doesn't look anything like what is shown in the build manual.
I'm assuming I have the tray from the original frame before it was revised.
Scratching my head here.:confused:
Here's a picture of my tray and my frame. 225392

Yes. Wrong tray. Call FFR and get the correct tray

Thanks.
On delivery, I checked my MK5 to make sure it had the recently updated chassis for battery installation.
And YES, I had a battery tray, but failed to recognize it was the old/original design!
Thanks again for your post.

I called today, a few of us got the old battery tray by accident when they were making the frame revision.
They are sending me out the proper one.
