Key Features
- Black metal hold-down plate — The main component features a robust design that mounts securely to your RC chassis, providing a stable platform for battery installation and preventing any movement during aggressive driving or jumpy terrain.
- Two metal posts — These precision-engineered posts secure the hold-down plate to the chassis and provide mounting points for the battery itself, ensuring rock-solid stability without flex or movement that could affect performance.
- Two body clips — These retaining clips lock the battery firmly in place against the hold-down plate, preventing any possibility of the battery shifting during high-speed runs, jumps or cornering forces that would otherwise dislodge the battery.
- Genuine Traxxas OEM part — As an official manufacturer component, this battery hold-down system is engineered to exact specifications and fits perfectly with compatible Traxxas RC models, ensuring proper fitment and reliability you can count on.
- Black finish — The colour-coordinated black design matches most Traxxas chassis and body colours, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your RC vehicle whilst providing functional battery security.
- Easy installation — The straightforward design allows quick installation or replacement without requiring special tools, making it ideal for field repairs or chassis maintenance during RC driving sessions.
Technical Performance
This battery hold-down plate system is engineered from durable materials chosen specifically to withstand the vibrations, impacts and stresses encountered during RC driving. The metal construction of both the hold-down plate and the mounting posts provides rigidity and longevity, ensuring the system maintains its structural integrity through countless hours of bashing, racing or casual RC driving. The two-piece clip system works in concert with the hold-down plate to create a secure battery enclosure that distributes pressure evenly across the battery pack, preventing concentrated stress points that could damage LiPo cells or battery connectors. The engineering ensures that even during high-impact jumps, aggressive cornering or rough terrain driving, your battery remains exactly where it should be, maintaining the proper centre of gravity and weight distribution critical for responsive handling. The black finish provides both aesthetic appeal and protection against UV degradation over time, making this a long-lasting component suitable for outdoor RC driving sessions in all UK weather conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use this battery hold-down plate on RC cars other than Traxxas models? — This battery hold-down plate is specifically engineered for compatibility with select Traxxas RC vehicles, particularly the TRX-6 Ultimate RC Hauler with Winch (TRX88086-84-BLK). For compatibility with other RC models, it's best to consult the manufacturer specifications or contact our team of RC experts at RC Model Shop, who can advise you on fitting options for your specific RC vehicle.
- Why is a battery hold-down plate important for my RC car? — During high-speed driving, jumping and cornering, the forces acting on your RC vehicle can cause an unsecured battery to shift position or even dislodge completely. A proper battery hold-down system like this ensures your battery remains firmly in place, maintains optimal weight distribution for handling, and prevents damage to your battery pack or electrical connections. This is essential for reliable performance and protecting your investment in quality RC equipment.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, this battery hold-down system is suitable for RC enthusiasts of all skill levels. Whether you're new to the RC hobby or experienced, proper battery installation is fundamental to safe and reliable operation. The installation is straightforward and requires no special tools, making it perfect for anyone performing basic chassis maintenance or repairs on their ready to run RC vehicle.
- What types of batteries can this hold-down plate secure? — This hold-down system is designed to securely retain standard RC LiPo battery packs in their correct position on the chassis. The metal posts and retaining clips create a universal fastening solution suitable for most battery pack sizes used in 1/10 scale RC vehicles. However, for specific battery compatibility, it's advisable to check your vehicle's user manual or consult RC Model Shop's expert team.
- Do I need to replace my battery hold-down plate? — If your original battery hold-down plate has cracked, the clips are damaged, or the posts are bent, replacement is recommended to ensure your battery remains secure. Even minor damage to these components can result in battery movement during driving, which affects handling and could cause electrical connection issues or battery damage.
