Overview
The Traxxas Water Cooling Jacket for Motor (TRX5760) is an essential accessory designed to keep your brushless motor running at optimal temperatures during intense RC marine racing and high-performance boating sessions. Whether you're piloting a Traxxas DCM M41 Catamaran, a Spartan 2.4GHz TSM VXL-6S Marine, or a Spartan SR VXL race boat, this cooling jacket plays a critical role in protecting your investment and maintaining peak motor performance. If you're serious about RC marine racing in the UK and want to extend motor life whilst maintaining consistent power delivery, the water cooling jacket is an indispensable upgrade that serious hobbyists and competitive pilots rely on.
Water cooling has become the gold standard in high-performance RC marine applications because it leverages the natural cooling properties of the water surrounding your boat to dissipate heat far more effectively than air cooling alone. This is especially important during extended racing sessions, high-speed runs, or competitive events where motor temperatures can spike dangerously high. By installing the TRX5760 water cooling jacket on your brushless motor, you're actively preventing thermal throttling, which can reduce power output and damage motor windings over time. The jacket works by directing water flow around the motor housing, creating a highly efficient cooling circuit that keeps your motor in the optimal temperature range for maximum performance and longevity.
RC Model Shop stocks this genuine Traxxas component to support the growing community of RC marine enthusiasts across the UK who demand reliability, performance and authenticity. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying casual sessions on local lakes, or a serious competitor preparing for race events, this water cooling jacket is the right choice for protecting your Traxxas marine vessel's brushless motor system.
Key Features
- Direct Motor Cooling — The water cooling jacket is engineered to fit directly onto your brushless motor, allowing water to circulate around the motor housing and extract heat far more efficiently than air cooling alone, which is essential for maintaining consistent performance during extended run times.
- Brushless Motor Protection — Brushless motors in high-performance marine applications generate significant heat under load, and this cooling jacket actively prevents thermal damage to windings and electronic components by maintaining lower operating temperatures throughout your racing session.
- Genuine Traxxas Component — This is an official Traxxas part manufactured to OEM specifications, ensuring perfect fitment, durability and compatibility with your Traxxas marine vessel without any modifications or workarounds required.
- Performance Enhancement — By keeping motor temperatures within the optimal operating window, the cooling jacket helps maintain peak power delivery and acceleration response, preventing the power loss that occurs when motors thermal-throttle under sustained high loads.
- Extended Motor Life — Consistent cooling significantly reduces wear on motor bearings, windings and electrical components, directly extending the working life of your brushless motor and protecting your investment in high-quality RC equipment.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Water Cooling Jacket TRX5760 represents precision engineering specifically developed for the demands of brushless motor cooling in high-performance RC marine applications. This component is designed to work seamlessly with Traxxas's range of brushless motors fitted to their marine vessels, including the Velineon 540XL motor found in models such as the DCM M41 Catamaran and Spartan series. The jacket utilises the inherent cooling properties of water to maintain motor temperatures at safe operating levels during intense racing, high-speed runs, and extended competitive sessions where ambient air cooling would prove insufficient. RC marine racing demands reliability and consistent performance, and the water cooling jacket is engineered to deliver exactly that by preventing thermal-induced power loss and protecting sensitive motor electronics from heat damage. The design ensures that water drawn in through your boat's water intake system flows directly around the motor housing before being expelled, creating a highly efficient cooling circuit that responds dynamically to heat generation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas models does the TRX5760 water cooling jacket fit? — This cooling jacket is compatible with the Traxxas DCM M41 Catamaran 40in VXL Brushless TSM (available in Red and Green), the Traxxas Spartan 2.4GHz TSM VXL-6S Marine with Velineon 540XL motor (Red and Green versions), and the Traxxas Spartan SR VXL 1/10 36in Electric Brushless Race Boat (available in Red, Green and Orange). Check your model number against this list to confirm compatibility before ordering.
- Why do I need a water cooling jacket for my RC marine motor? — Brushless motors generate significant heat during high-performance operation, and in RC marine vessels where extended run times and high speeds are common, air cooling alone is insufficient to prevent thermal throttling and potential motor damage. A water cooling jacket actively draws cooling water around the motor housing, maintaining optimal operating temperatures and protecting your motor investment whilst maintaining consistent power delivery throughout your racing session.
- How does the water cooling jacket connect to my boat's water system? — The jacket integrates with your Traxxas marine vessel's existing water intake and cooling system, directing water flow directly around the motor housing. This is a straightforward installation on compatible Traxxas models, and full fitting instructions are provided with the component.
- Will this cooling jacket improve my boat's performance? — Indirectly, yes. By preventing thermal throttling and keeping motor temperatures within the optimal operating window, the cooling jacket helps maintain peak power output and acceleration throughout your run, preventing the power loss that occurs when motors overheat under sustained high loads.
- Is this an official Traxxas genuine part? — Yes, this is an authentic OEM Traxxas component manufactured to official specifications, ensuring perfect fitment, durability and compatibility with all compatible Traxxas marine models without modification.
