Overview
The Traxxas Hold downs, battery, left and right (2 pcs) / foam spacers (2 pcs) are essential accessory components designed to keep your standard battery pack securely mounted and protected within your RC vehicle. Whether you're running a Traxxas model truck, buggy, or crawler, a properly secured battery is crucial for maintaining optimal performance, safety and reliability during intense bashings and racing sessions. These hold downs prevent your battery from shifting around inside the chassis during aggressive cornering, high-speed runs, and off-road terrain adventures across the UK.
For RC enthusiasts who demand reliability and peace of mind, having quality battery retention hardware is non-negotiable. The Traxxas battery hold downs work in conjunction with the included foam spacers to create a snug, protective environment for your LiPo or NiMH battery pack. This prevents dangerous movement that could damage battery connectors, short circuit your electronics, or cause your battery to eject from the chassis mid-run. Whether you're a seasoned RC competitor or a weekend basher exploring off-road trails, these hold downs are an investment in the longevity of your RC car and the safety of your equipment.
RC Model Shop stocks genuine Traxxas components and accessories for all scales and models, from 1/10 scale RC buggies through to massive 1/5 scale monster trucks. When you need reliable, factory-engineered parts that fit perfectly and perform exactly as intended, Traxxas is the recognised brand trusted by RC enthusiasts across the UK and beyond. These battery hold downs are simple, robust, and absolutely essential for any serious RC driver.

Technical Performance
The Traxxas battery hold down system represents the manufacturer's commitment to vehicle safety and performance reliability. By keeping your battery pack firmly mounted within the chassis, these hold downs eliminate variables that could compromise your RC car's handling, weight distribution, and electrical integrity. The included foam spacers provide crucial isolation between metal mounting surfaces and your valuable battery investment, protecting against accidental short circuits caused by moving battery packs making contact with metal chassis components or electronic connectors. Standard battery packs come in various sizes and capacities, from 2000mAh to 5000mAh and beyond, but Traxxas has engineered these hold downs to work with the most common configurations found in RTR (Ready to Run) models and upgraded setups across the UK RC hobby. The foam spacers are particularly important when running high-performance LiPo batteries, which require careful handling and secure mounting to prevent thermal stress and electrical hazards. Whether you're operating a 3S LiPo system in a 1/10 scale buggy or a more powerful multi-cell configuration in a larger truck, these hold downs provide the security and protection your battery needs throughout its service life.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these battery hold downs fit my Traxxas RC car? — These hold downs are designed to fit standard battery packs and are compatible with most Traxxas RC models including the TRX-4, TRX-6, X-Maxx, Hoss, Slash, Stampede, and many other vehicles that use conventional battery mounting points. Always check your vehicle's manual to confirm compatibility with your specific model.
- What size batteries do these hold downs accommodate? — These hold downs are engineered for standard battery pack sizes. Most RTR and upgraded Traxxas vehicles use batteries ranging from 2000mAh to 5000mAh capacity, and these hold downs will secure packs within standard dimensional parameters. If you're using oversized or custom battery packs, measure the dimensions against your vehicle's battery bay before purchasing.
- Why do I need foam spacers with my battery hold downs? — Foam spacers provide essential cushioning and vibration isolation for your battery pack. They prevent metal-to-battery contact that could cause short circuits, protect the battery casing from damage during impacts and rough terrain driving, and help maintain battery longevity by reducing stress on connectors and cell internals. This is especially important for high-performance LiPo batteries used in serious RC racing and bashing.
- How do I install the battery hold downs? — Installation is straightforward and requires no specialist tools. Simply position the foam spacers against your battery pack, align the left and right hold down brackets around the battery, and secure them using the existing mounting points on your vehicle's chassis. Consult your vehicle's instruction manual for specific mounting details and recommended fastener types for your model.
- Are these hold downs waterproof? — The hold downs themselves are constructed from durable plastic and metal materials that resist moisture, but they are not fully sealed waterproof components. However, they will function reliably in wet conditions typical of UK bashings, stream crossings, and muddy trail running. For extended water submersion, additional waterproofing measures may be necessary.
- Can I use these with aftermarket batteries? — Yes, provided the aftermarket battery pack matches standard dimensional specifications. Many popular third-party battery manufacturers produce packs compatible with Traxxas vehicles. Always verify that your battery dimensions fit within your vehicle's battery bay and will work with these hold downs before installation.
