Key Features
- OEM Traxxas Quality — These are genuine manufacturer parts, not aftermarket substitutes, ensuring they meet the exact specifications and tolerances that Traxxas engineers designed into your boat model. Using OEM parts protects your investment and maintains warranty coverage where applicable.
- 3x10mm BCS Thread Size — The precise 3x10mm bolt and cap screw dimensions ensure secure, rattle-free attachment to your boat trailer coupling system, preventing loosening during transport or launch operations.

- Marine-Grade Hardware — These components are specifically engineered for marine environments where exposure to water, salt spray and UV radiation can degrade lesser materials. The construction resists corrosion and maintains dimensional stability in wet conditions.
- Compatible with Premium Traxxas Models — These hitches are confirmed compatible with the Traxxas Spartan 2.4GHz TSM VXL-6S in both red and green finish variants, as well as all three colour options of the Spartan SR VXL 1/10 36-inch brushless race boat (red, green and orange). This universal compatibility across the premium Spartan line makes these an essential spare part.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas Hitch boat trailer components represent precision hardware engineering specifically optimised for marine RC applications. Constructed to exact OEM specifications with 3x10mm bolt and cap screw dimensions, these hitches provide the secure mechanical linkage between your RC boat and its launch trailer.

The two-piece set ensures you have backup components for maintenance or can outfit multiple trailers simultaneously, a practical consideration for serious hobbyists. Each hitch is manufactured to Traxxas' exacting standards, the same precision that governs the engineering of their brushless Velineon motors and advanced 2.4GHz TSM radio systems. The hitches integrate seamlessly with Traxxas Spartan models including the high-performance 1/10 36-inch race boats and the dual-motor VXL-6S variants, which combine brushless efficiency with waterproof electronics for extreme aquatic performance. Whether you're launching from a car park, a private lake or a dedicated RC boating facility, these hitches ensure reliable, repeatable coupling and release cycles that protect your investment and maximise your time on the water.
