TRAXXAS HOSS 4X4 VXL Aluminum Battery Hold-down by GPM HS0126  [HS0126]

Aluminum battery hold-down for HOSS 4X4 VXL

This GPM aftermarket battery hold-down kit replaces the stock retaining hardware and is designed to secure battery packs on TRAXXAS HOSS 4X4 VXL scale models. Built from aluminum 6061 T6, the main plate and stabilizer are intended to reduce movement under aggressive driving and to help dissipate heat away from the pack.

The kit includes a primary hold-down plate and a stabilizer that sit above the battery, plus a stainless steel M3 top threaded screw for assembly. The aluminum plate uses a patterned surface to increase airflow contact and encourage cooling; the stabilizer helps prevent lateral shifting during jumps and hard cornering. This part is focused on pack retention and thermal help rather than electrical or chassis modifications.

Installation is straightforward for experienced hobbyists: remove the factory strap or clip, position the aluminum hold-down over the battery, align with the existing mounting point above the pack, and secure with the provided M3 top screw. No additional tools beyond standard hex drivers are required, but check thread engagement and torque to avoid stripping the screw or chassis threads.

Use this kit to improve pack retention and help manage battery heat on TRAXXAS HOSS 4X4 VXL models; verify fit and screw torque during initial installation and after heavy runs.
