TRAXXAS JATO 4X4 VXL 7075 Alloy Battery Retainer by GPM TJ0126  [TJ0126]

Battery retainer for TRAXXAS JATO 4X4 VXL

This GPM TJ0126 battery retainer is an aftermarket 7075 alloy hold-down designed to replace factory part numbers 7426 and 7426X on compatible TRAXXAS models. The kit centers on two machined alloy mounts that locate at the front and rear battery positions and an adjustable Velcro strap to secure larger capacity packs. Materials and finish are described by the supplier as 7075 aluminum with anodized color options to match chassis styling.

The component's role in setup is straightforward: provide a stiffer, wear-resistant anchor for the battery to reduce movement under hard acceleration, braking, or off-road impacts, and to allow fitment of low-profile or higher-capacity battery packs without relying on the stock plastic retainers. The parts arrive with the supplied fasteners pre-assembled and the vendor recommends medium-strength screw thread adhesive to prevent loosening during running.

Use this retainer where stronger battery anchoring and cleaner aesthetics are needed, and follow the supplier guidance to use medium-strength screw glue on metal-to-chassis fasteners to maintain long-term stability.
