Key Features

• Pack of Four Retainers — Each purchase includes four body clip retainers, giving you multiple units to fit to different models or keep as spares, which is particularly useful if you own several RC vehicles or need backups for a competition vehicle.
• Universal Compatibility — While designed specifically for the Traxxas Spartan range, these retainers work with any RC application where you need to secure body clips, from brushless electric cars and buggies to high-performance boats and trucks, making them incredibly versatile for UK RC enthusiasts with diverse model collections.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Body Clip Retainer is engineered from durable materials designed to withstand the rigours of RC use, whether in dry bashing conditions or aquatic environments with brushless electric boats. The retainers feature a robust construction that can handle repeated attachment and detachment of body clips without degradation. The lanyard system is securely integrated, preventing failure even during high-impact crashes common with performance RC models. The 3mm hole requirement is a standard sizing that fits virtually all RC platforms, from small-scale 1/10 brushless electric cars to larger brushless trophy trucks and racing boats. The black finish resists weathering and UV exposure, maintaining its appearance even after extended outdoor use. This is an understated but essential component of any serious RC enthusiast's accessory collection, particularly for those running valuable models where losing components would be costly.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What models are these body clip retainers compatible with? — These retainers are specifically designed for the Traxxas Spartan range, including the Traxxas Spartan 2.4GHz TSM VXL-6S Marine in both Red and Green, and the Traxxas Spartan SR VXL 1/10 36-inch brushless electric race boat available in Red, Green, and Orange variants. However, the retainers can also be used with virtually any RC model where you want to prevent body clips from getting lost, including RC cars, buggies, trucks, and other boats.
• How do I install the body clip retainers on my RC model? — Installation is simple and requires only basic RC maintenance skills. You need to drill a single 3mm hole in your model's body or chassis at a location near where your body clips are fitted. Once the hole is drilled, insert the retainer through the hole and secure it according to the provided instructions. The integrated lanyard can then be attached to your body clip, ensuring it remains tethered to your model.
• Will these retainers work with RC boats and waterproof models? — Yes, these retainers are ideal for waterproof RC boats and aquatic models. The Traxxas Spartan range consists of brushless electric marine vessels, and these retainers were originally designed for this application. If your body clip comes loose during water-based RC boating, the lanyard will keep it tethered to your boat, preventing it from sinking or being lost in the water.
• What is the purpose of the lanyard system? — The lanyard provides a safety tether between your body clip and your RC model. In the event that your body clip becomes loose or detaches during operation, the lanyard prevents it from being lost. This is particularly important for valuable or hard-to-replace clips, and essential for RC boating where lost components can sink quickly.
• Can I use these retainers if I only have one RC model? — Absolutely. The pack includes four retainers, so if you only own one model, you'll have three spares. These spares are useful for future models, repairs, or as backups in case one is damaged. Having spare retainers is good practice for serious RC hobbyists.
• Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Yes, the TRX5750 is an official Traxxas OEM part manufactured to the brand's quality standards. When you purchase from an authorised retailer like RC Model Shop, you can be confident you're receiving genuine Traxxas equipment with full compatibility guarantees.
