Overview
The Traxxas Battery Hold-Down Mounts are essential replacement chassis spares designed specifically for Traxxas XRT models. Whether you're a serious RC enthusiast in the UK looking to maintain your high-performance RC car or someone who regularly bashers their vehicle in competitive conditions, these replacement mounts ensure your battery stays securely fastened during intense driving sessions. Battery retention is critical for reliable performance—loose batteries can shift during acceleration, braking, and cornering, potentially affecting your RC vehicle's handling characteristics and even causing damage to internal components. These genuine Traxxas parts are engineered to the exact specifications your XRT requires, making them the smart choice for any RC model enthusiast.
This comprehensive mounting solution comes as a complete left and right pair with all necessary hardware included. If you've experienced battery movement, damage to your existing mounts, or simply want to maintain your RC car at peak performance standards, these holds-down mounts are a straightforward upgrade that delivers measurable improvements to chassis stability and reliability. As the UK's trusted source for genuine RC car parts and accessories, we stock authentic Traxxas components that meet manufacturer specifications and deliver the quality you expect from this premium brand.
Key Features
- Matched Left and Right Pair — This package includes two left-hand mounts and two right-hand mounts, providing complete coverage across your Traxxas XRT platform and ensuring symmetrical battery retention on both sides of the chassis for perfectly balanced weight distribution.
- Complete Hardware Package — Four precision 4x15mm CCS screws are included with the mounts, eliminating the need to source fasteners separately and guaranteeing you have exactly the right components needed for immediate installation without additional purchases.
- Factory Specification Engineering — Designed and manufactured by Traxxas to exact OEM specifications, these mounts ensure perfect fitment and compatibility with your XRT, maintaining the integrity of your RC car's original engineering and performance characteristics.
- Enhanced Battery Security — Properly secured batteries eliminate movement during aggressive driving, reducing strain on battery connectors, minimising internal cell damage from vibration, and improving overall power delivery consistency during racing and bashing sessions.
- Multiple XRT Compatibility — These mounts work across the entire XRT lineup including the XRT VXL-8S in multiple colours (Green, Black, Blue, Orange) and the XRT Ultimate models, making them versatile spares for Traxxas enthusiasts with different variants of this popular platform.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Battery Hold-Down Mounts represent precision engineering at the component level, designed specifically to address the demanding requirements of the XRT platform which is known for its aggressive acceleration, high-speed stability, and intense off-road performance capabilities. The mounting system employs robust construction methods that withstand the extreme vibration and shock loads generated during hard driving, ensuring your LiPo battery remains absolutely secure even during maximum throttle runs and technical terrain navigation. The 4x15mm CCS screws provide excellent holding power without over-tightening risk, and the dual-mount design (left and right pairs) distributes load stress evenly across the chassis frame. This distributed mounting approach prevents point-load failures and extends the service life of both the mounts themselves and your battery pack. Whether you're running extended bashing sessions at the local RC track in the UK or preparing your vehicle for competitive racing, these genuine Traxxas components deliver the stability and reliability that separates casual RC enthusiasts from serious performers who demand maximum uptime and consistent handling characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which Traxxas XRT models are these battery mounts compatible with? — These mounts fit all Traxxas XRT variants including the XRT VXL-8S in Green, Black, Blue, and Orange colour options, as well as the XRT Ultimate models in Blue X and Green X. They are genuine OEM parts manufactured by Traxxas to ensure perfect fitment and performance across the entire XRT platform lineup.
- Why should I replace my battery hold-down mounts? — Battery mounts experience constant stress from vibration, cornering forces, and impact loads during driving. Over time, they can crack, warp, or lose their clamping force, allowing your battery to shift during driving. This movement can damage battery connectors, reduce power delivery consistency, and even cause your battery to disconnect mid-drive. Replacement mounts restore secure retention and maintain your RC car's performance and safety.
- Do I need any tools to install these mounts? — Installation requires only basic RC tools: a small Phillips head screwdriver or RC hex wrench set to fit the 4x15mm screws included with the mounts. No specialised tools or technical skills are required—these are straightforward replacement components that any RC enthusiast can install in minutes.
- What type of batteries do these mounts secure? — These universal battery mounts are designed to work with standard LiPo battery packs used in the Traxxas XRT models. The mounts accommodate the typical form factor of batteries used in this platform without restriction, making them compatible with any quality LiPo pack within the XRT's battery requirements.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts or aftermarket alternatives? — These are 100% genuine Traxxas original equipment manufacturer parts, not third-party alternatives. Manufactured to exact specifications by Traxxas, they guarantee perfect fitment, reliability, and compatibility with your XRT. Choosing genuine parts ensures you maintain your RC vehicle's performance standards and manufacturer warranty compliance.
- How often do battery mounts need replacement? — Battery mounts are durable components designed for years of service, but they should be inspected regularly—especially if you bash heavily or compete regularly. Replace them immediately if you notice cracks, warping, or if your battery shifts during driving. Preventative replacement every couple of years is a smart maintenance practice for serious RC enthusiasts.
