FTX Hook and Loop Battery Strap 2 Piece Pack for Outlaw Kanyon Zorro FTX8346

Overview

The FTX Outlaw/Kanyon Hook and Loop Battery Strap (2pc) FTX8346 is an essential chassis spare part designed for FTX 1/10 scale RC crawlers, buggies and trail trucks. These durable hook and loop fastener straps provide a secure, reliable method of mounting and securing your LiPo battery pack within the battery case of your FTX Outlaw, Kanyon, Khaos or Zorro RC vehicle. Whether you're a dedicated RC car enthusiast in the UK or just getting started with ready to run RC models, having quality battery securing components is crucial for safe operation and optimal performance on the track or trail.

Battery retention is one of the most important safety considerations when running any RC vehicle. A loose or improperly secured battery can shift during aggressive driving, affecting weight distribution, handling and vehicle balance, whilst also risking damage to the battery itself or other internal components. The FTX Hook and Loop Battery Strap offers peace of mind with its secure fastening system, ensuring your battery stays exactly where it should be during all your bashings and racing sessions. These replacement straps are easy to install, require no tools, and can be quickly replaced if they become worn or damaged through regular use.

At 180mm in length, these hook and loop battery straps are purpose-designed for the FTX Kanyon 4x4 RTR trail crawler, FTX Outlaw 1/10 4WD ultra-4 buggy, and FTX Zorro Trophy Truck families of vehicles. The pack includes two straps, giving you a spare pair or allowing you to refresh both straps on your model simultaneously. If you own multiple FTX RC buggies or crawlers, stocking spare battery straps is a smart investment in maintaining your fleet.

Key Features

• Hook and Loop Fastener Design — The hook and loop (often called Velcro-style) fastening system provides a secure, reusable connection that doesn't require any tools, clips or additional hardware to operate, making battery changes quick and straightforward during your RC sessions.
• 180mm Length — Specifically designed to fit the battery case dimensions of FTX Outlaw, Kanyon and Zorro models, ensuring perfect compatibility and a secure wrap around standard LiPo battery packs used in 1/10 scale RC vehicles.
• Pack of Two Straps — Two replacement straps are included in each pack, allowing you to replace both straps on your vehicle at once or keep spares ready for when the fasteners eventually wear out with repeated use.
• OEM FTX Quality — Manufactured by FTX to the same specifications as the original equipment supplied with new RTR models, guaranteeing genuine compatibility and performance standards that match your RC vehicle's engineering.
• Easy Installation — No special tools, soldering or technical knowledge required; simply wrap the strap around your battery pack and secure it to the battery case using the hook and loop fasteners, taking just seconds to complete.
• Durable Construction — The hook and loop fasteners are designed to withstand countless cycles of opening and closing whilst maintaining reliable grip strength, though they will eventually require replacement as part of normal maintenance.
• Essential Spare Part — Battery straps are considered wear items in the RC hobby; keeping spares on hand ensures you never have to skip a race or bashing session due to a worn fastener.

Technical Performance

The FTX Outlaw/Kanyon Hook and Loop Battery Strap is engineered as a precision chassis spare component for FTX's range of 1/10 scale ready to run RC buggies and crawlers. At 180mm length, the strap is dimensioned to securely hold standard 3S and 4S LiPo battery packs (the typical power sources for these vehicles) within the integrated battery case of Outlaw, Kanyon, Khaos and Zorro models. The hook and loop fastening system operates without any mechanical wear on your battery pack's connector tabs or the vehicle's battery case mounting points, unlike older clip-based systems which can become brittle or bent over time. The adhesive-backed hook and loop material is designed to be peeled away and replaced when the fastening strength diminishes through normal use, making this a consumable maintenance item rather than a permanent installation. For users operating high-performance brushless RC models that demand frequent battery swaps during competition or long bashing sessions, these straps see regular use and will gradually lose their gripping power, making spare packs essential for serious RC enthusiasts. The fastener material itself is flame-resistant and designed to remain stable during the vibration and impacts typical of off-road RC driving.
