Traxxas Rustler 4x4 VXL Battery Strap for Short and Long Battery Compartment Chassis

thingiverse

These are battery straps for Traxxas 4x4 VXL Trucks. They *MAY* work on the non-VXL trucks as well, but I don't have one to try it out. There are four different files. Two are for the "First Gen" chassis with the short battery compartment. Two are for the "Second Gen" chassis with the long battery compartment (162mm). [Here's the Traxxas page that can help you figure out which you have.](https://traxxas.com/news/choosing-batteries-rustler-4x4) The dimension at the end of the file name indicates how thick of a battery it can accommodate. The 1.23 can accommodate a battery up to 1.23" thick. The 1.45 can accommodate the large 5,000 mAh and 6,000mAh 3S batteries that are 1.45" thick. Also, I designed it so you can swap filaments and make the Traxxas stand out with whatever colors you want. My son has been running the strap and clip for a couple of months now without a problem, so I feel confident in posting it now. The "Long Chassis Battery Clip" is the battery clip for the "Second Gen" chassis. When my son broke his chassis and he got the new "Second Gen" chassis, the battery strap and clip was out of stock, so I modeled it as well.
