Overview
The Traxxas Hatch mounts (4) / 3x8mm CCS (stainless) (9) TRX10317 are essential replacement and upgrade components for Traxxas RC marine models, specifically designed for the Spartan range of high-performance electric brushless race boats. These precision-engineered hatch mounts are built to secure and stabilise the access hatch on your RC boat, ensuring reliable performance during high-speed water operations. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast racing your brushless electric boat at speed or a dedicated hobbyist looking to maintain your Traxxas marine setup, these hatch mounts deliver the durability and precision engineering that Traxxas is recognised for across the RC boat UK market.
This comprehensive set includes everything you need to properly mount and secure your boat's hatch with confidence. The use of stainless steel fasteners ensures long-lasting corrosion resistance, which is particularly important for RC marine applications where exposure to water and salt spray can quickly degrade standard hardware. If you own a Traxxas Spartan SR VXL or Traxxas Spartan 2.4GHz TSM VXL-6S marine boat, having quality replacement hatch mounts on hand is smart maintenance practice that will keep your RC boat performing at its peak for years to come.
RC Model Shop stocks genuine Traxxas parts and accessories, making it easy for UK RC boat enthusiasts to source exactly what they need. These hatch mounts represent the kind of attention to detail that separates well-maintained RC boats from those prone to problems during high-speed operation on water.
Key Features
- Set of 4 hatch mounts — You receive four complete hatch mounts in this package, providing everything needed to fully secure your boat's hatch assembly and ensure it stays firmly in place during aggressive manoeuvres and high-speed running on water.
- 3x8mm stainless steel fasteners — The package includes nine 3x8mm counter-sunk socket head cap screws (CCS) manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, protecting your RC boat from rust and degradation even after repeated exposure to freshwater and saltwater environments.
- Genuine Traxxas engineering — These mounts are official Traxxas replacement parts, manufactured to exact OEM specifications and tolerances, ensuring perfect fitment and reliability on compatible Spartan models without any modifications or workarounds required.
- Corrosion-resistant materials — Stainless steel construction throughout provides superior durability compared to standard galvanised or painted hardware, maintaining structural integrity and aesthetic appearance across multiple RC boating seasons.
- Marine-grade construction — Purpose-built for aquatic RC applications, these mounts are engineered to withstand constant exposure to water, moisture, and the unique stresses associated with high-performance RC boat racing and recreational running.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Hatch mounts TRX10317 represent precision marine hardware designed specifically for the demands of high-speed brushless RC boat operation. The combination of four robust mounts working in concert provides superior hatch stability and vibration damping during acceleration, cornering, and braking manoeuvres. The 3x8mm counter-sunk socket head cap screws offer secure fastening with a low-profile design that doesn't interfere with aerodynamics or water flow characteristics. Stainless steel construction ensures these fasteners will not rust, corrode, or weaken even after extensive saltwater operation or prolonged storage in humid conditions. The engineering tolerances are precise enough to ensure zero play or rattling, which is critical for maintaining the hydrodynamic integrity of your RC boat hull and preventing water ingress through the hatch area. For owners of the Traxxas Spartan SR VXL 1/10 36-inch electric brushless race boat or the Traxxas Spartan 2.4GHz TSM VXL-6S marine boat, these mounts provide reliable performance restoration or preventative maintenance. Whether you're running competitive races or enjoying weekend bashing sessions on lakes and waterways across the UK, having quality replacement mounts available ensures your RC boat remains in peak operational condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas RC boats are these hatch mounts compatible with? — These TRX10317 hatch mounts are designed specifically for the Traxxas Spartan range, including the Traxxas Spartan SR VXL 1/10 36-inch electric brushless race boat (available in red, green, and orange variants) and the Traxxas Spartan 2.4GHz TSM VXL-6S marine model with Velineon 540XL brushless motor system.
- Why are stainless steel fasteners important for RC marine applications? — Stainless steel resists corrosion far better than standard steel or galvanised hardware, which is critical for RC boats because they're regularly exposed to water and moisture. Stainless fasteners won't rust, weaken, or seize over time, ensuring your hatch mounts remain secure and reliable across multiple seasons of use whether you're racing on freshwater lakes or in saltwater environments.
- Can I use these mounts as replacements if my current hatch mounts are damaged? — Yes, these are genuine Traxxas replacement parts manufactured to exact OEM specifications, so they will function as perfect drop-in replacements for worn or damaged original mounts on compatible Spartan models without requiring any modification or adjustment.
- How many fasteners are included and what size are they? — The package includes nine 3x8mm counter-sunk socket head cap screws (CCS) in stainless steel. This quantity provides more than enough fasteners for installation, with spares included for future maintenance or replacement if needed.
- Is this a complete hatch assembly or just the mounts? — This product contains the mounting hardware only—specifically the four hatch mounts and nine stainless steel fasteners needed to secure your existing hatch to your Traxxas Spartan RC boat. If your hatch itself is damaged, you would need to source a replacement hatch separately.
- Do I need any special tools to install these mounts? — The 3x8mm socket head cap screws require a 2mm hex key (Allen wrench) for installation. Standard RC hobby tool sets typically include this size, making installation straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance experience.
