Traxxas Body Clip Retainer 4-Pack Green Lanyard Attachment Universal RC TRX5753

Overview

The Traxxas Body Clip Retainer in green is an essential accessory for RC enthusiasts who want to keep their body clips secure and prevent them from getting lost during operation or transport. This set of four retainers is designed with Traxxas's signature quality and precision engineering, making it a must-have addition to your RC model collection. Whether you're running a high-performance Traxxas Spartan brushless RC boat, a DCM M41 Catamaran, or any other RC vehicle that uses body clips, these retainers provide peace of mind by keeping your clips tethered and within reach. For UK RC hobbyists and serious competitors alike, having reliable body clip retention is crucial when you're investing in premium RC equipment and want to avoid the frustration of losing clips during races or casual bashing sessions.

Body clips are small but critical components that hold your RC body in place, and losing them during transport or operation can be costly and inconvenient. The Traxxas Body Clip Retainer solves this problem elegantly with a simple yet effective lanyard system. Installation is straightforward—simply drill a 3mm hole where you want to mount the retainer, attach the lanyard, and you're ready to go. This makes it an ideal upgrade for anyone running Traxxas marine RC models or any brushless RC vehicle in the UK market. The vibrant green colour matches perfectly with compatible Traxxas body shells, adding a professional touch to your setup whilst maintaining functionality.

Available in a convenient four-piece set, these retainers offer outstanding value and allow you to equip multiple vehicles or keep spares on hand. The design is compatible with numerous Traxxas models, including the latest Spartan SR VXL 1/10 scale electric brushless race boats and the DCM M41 Catamaran VXL brushless models, making it a versatile choice for your RC hobby. If you're serious about protecting your investment and keeping your RC gear organised, the Traxxas Body Clip Retainer should be on your accessory list.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas Body Clip Retainer represents precision engineering at its finest, combining elegant simplicity with practical functionality. Manufactured to Traxxas's exacting quality standards, these retainers are built to withstand the rigours of competitive racing and casual bashing alike. The lanyard attachment mechanism is engineered to securely tether your body clips, preventing loss even during high-speed operation or accidental impacts. The construction uses durable materials designed to resist degradation from UV exposure, saltwater environments (for marine RC models like the Spartan 2.4GHz TSM VXL-6S brushless race boat), and constant handling. The 3mm mounting hole specification ensures compatibility with standard drill bits and allows for installation on virtually any RC chassis or chassis component. For users of brushless RC boats and electric RC vehicles in the UK, where maintenance and component care is essential, these retainers provide an elegant solution to a common problem. The green colour finish is applied using Traxxas's proven paint process, ensuring long-lasting vibrancy and resistance to fading even after extended outdoor use.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will these body clip retainers work with my Traxxas Spartan RC boat? — Yes, these retainers are specifically designed for the Traxxas Spartan 2.4GHz TSM VXL-6S Marine with Velineon 540XL brushless motor, the Spartan SR VXL 1/10 scale electric brushless race boat, and the DCM M41 Catamaran 40in VXL brushless models. They are fully compatible with both red and green body variants of these marine RC vehicles, as well as orange versions of the Spartan SR.
• Can I use these retainers on RC vehicles other than Traxxas Spartan and DCM M41? — Absolutely. Whilst designed specifically for Spartan and DCM M41 models, the lanyard retainer system can be adapted to any RC application where you want to prevent body clips from getting lost. As long as you can drill a 3mm hole in a suitable location, these retainers will work with your RC car, truck, buggy, or boat.
• How difficult is installation? — Installation is straightforward and requires only basic tools. You simply need to identify where you want to mount the retainer, drill a 3mm hole, and attach the lanyard. No special skills or knowledge of RC electronics are required, making this an accessible upgrade for beginners and experienced RC enthusiasts alike.

However, like all exposed components, they should be rinsed with fresh water after saltwater use to maintain longevity.
• What makes these better than standard body clips? — Standard body clips can easily fall off during transport or high-speed operation, and once lost, they're gone for good. The Traxxas Body Clip Retainer solves this by providing a lanyard system that keeps your clips tethered, preventing loss and ensuring you always have your clips when you need them.
• Do I need four retainers? — The four-pack gives you flexibility. You could use all four on a single vehicle with multiple body panels, distribute them across multiple RC models, or keep spares for replacements. Most users will find having extras extremely practical.
