The Traxxas Hatch for the Spartan represents the pinnacle of RC boat body engineering, crafted from durable materials that withstand the rigours of high-speed aquatic racing and recreational bashing. The white hull provides an aerodynamic profile that has been proven in competition and proven to be reliable across multiple Spartan configurations including the 2.4GHz TSM VXL-6S Marine models featuring the renowned Velineon 540XL brushless motor system, and the premium Spartan SR VXL 1/10 scale 36-inch electric brushless race boat platform. The body shell is engineered to perfectly house all internal electronics of these advanced brushless RC boats, ensuring that your investment in a Velineon 540XL motor, premium ESC, and 6S LiPo battery system performs at its absolute best.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas Spartan models does this body shell fit? — This TRX5712X Hatch is specifically designed for the TRX57076-4-GRNR Spartan 2.4GHz TSM VXL-6S Marine with Velineon 540XL in Green, the TRX103076-4-ORNG Spartan SR VXL 1/10 36-inch Electric Brushless Race Boat in Orange, the TRX57076-4-REDR Spartan 2.4GHz TSM VXL-6S Marine in Red, the TRX103076-4-GRN Spartan SR VXL in Green, and the TRX103076-4-RED Spartan SR VXL in Red. Always verify your specific model number before purchasing a replacement body.
- Is this a genuine Traxxas part or aftermarket? — This is a genuine OEM Traxxas replacement component, not an aftermarket alternative. It carries the authentic Traxxas part number TRX5712X and the full EAN code 0020334571298, guaranteeing quality and perfect fitment.
- Can I paint or add decals to this white hull? — Absolutely. The white (no graphics) design is specifically created for customisation enthusiasts. You can paint it with RC-grade paint, apply vinyl decals, add team colours, or use permanent markers to personalise it exactly how you want.
- What if my Spartan body is damaged — will this replacement part fix it? — Yes, the Traxxas Hatch is a direct replacement body shell. If your current hull has cracked, split, faded, or sustained impact damage, this component will restore your boat to original appearance and performance. Installation involves removing fasteners, detaching the old body, and securing this new hatch in place.
- Is installation difficult? — Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC experience. You'll need to remove the fasteners holding your existing body, carefully lift off the damaged or unwanted hatch, align the new white body shell, and secure it with the same fasteners. No special tools or technical knowledge is required.
- Why is this cheaper than buying a complete new Spartan RC boat? — This component is just the body shell replacement. A complete Spartan RC boat includes the chassis, motors, ESC, servo, radio system, and battery — all premium components that significantly increase the total cost. If you already own a Spartan, replacing just the body is far more economical than purchasing an entirely new vessel.
