GPM Racing Aluminium 7075-T6 Battery Hold-Down for Traxxas 1/6 4WD XRT 8S-78086-4 (XRT0126A)

Technical battery hold-down for XRT 8S

This aluminium mounting kit is intended for TRAXXAS platforms and sized for common 1/6 scale electric packs. Constructed from 7075-T6 to reduce base flex, the design uses snap-lock clamps combined with 3M adhesive foam pads to control battery movement under load while keeping installation direct and builder-configurable.

Installation is performed with the supplied flat head screws or the 3M adhesive pads depending on chassis access and installer preference. The snap-lock clamps provide a repeatable clamping location for typical 1/6 scale battery packs while the 7075-T6 base resists deformation that can allow pack shift. For setup, place the battery to maintain the vehicle's intended centre of gravity and secure either with screws to tapped bosses or with the adhesive pads where screw access is limited.

Packing includes

• Battery hold-down - 2pcs
• Flat head screw 3x6 - 12pcs (installed on the goods)
• 3M adhesive tape - 2pcs

Use the screw or pad option to match chassis constraints and tuning goals; ensure cable routing avoids the clamp area during final assembly.

What mounting options are provided?

The kit includes flat head screws for mechanical mounting and 3M adhesive foam pads for adhesive mounting where screw access is limited.

How does the base material improve retention?

7075-T6 aluminium offers greater stiffness than typical plastics, reducing flex under load and helping the clamps maintain a consistent grip on the pack.

Are there recommended pack positions?

Position the pack to preserve the vehicle's centre of gravity; the plate allows flexibility in fore-aft placement to suit handling preferences.

Is this compatible with the listed TRAXXAS model?
