Overview

The Traxxas 36x20in Large Rubber Pit Mat TRX3426 is an essential accessory for any serious RC enthusiast in the UK who spends time building, upgrading and maintaining their RC vehicles. Whether you're working on your Traxxas Slash, X-Maxx, TRX-4 crawler, or any other RC car, truck, buggy or boat, this professional-grade work mat transforms your RC hobby experience by providing a dedicated, organised workspace that protects both your models and your furniture. This is the mat chosen by RC car UK hobbyists and weekend bashers alike who demand quality and durability.

Constructed from heavy-gauge chemical-resistant rubber, the Traxxas pit mat is built to withstand the demands of serious RC work. The substantial 36 inch by 20 inch dimensions (91.4 x 50.8cm) provide ample working space to accommodate most Traxxas vehicles and allow you to spread out your tools, parts and components comfortably. Unlike cheap paper or cardboard alternatives, this mat offers genuine protection for your work surface from oils, solvents, scratches, impacts and the general wear and tear that comes with regular RC model building and servicing. The mat's robust construction means it will last for years of regular use, making it an investment that pays for itself through protection of your existing furniture and work areas.

What truly sets the Traxxas pit mat apart is its intelligent design featuring specially moulded compartments and recesses that organise your parts and tools, keeping small screws, fasteners, bearings and components from rolling away or getting lost during your work sessions. The smooth yet grippy surface provides excellent cushioning for delicate components whilst maintaining control over your tools and vehicle. Finished with the iconic Traxxas logo moulded directly into the mat surface for a professional appearance, this is the mat that serious ready to run RC enthusiasts choose when they want a proper workbench solution.

Key Features

• Heavy-Gauge Chemical-Resistant Rubber Construction — The mat is manufactured from professional-quality, heavy-gauge rubber that resists damage from oils, solvents, fuel and other chemicals commonly used in RC maintenance and upgrades, ensuring your work surface remains protected and the mat's integrity is preserved over many years of use.
• Generous 36x20 Inch Working Surface — The substantial dimensions of 91.4 x 50.8cm provide ample workspace to accommodate most Traxxas vehicles including 1/10 scale RC short course trucks, 1/10 scale monster trucks, 1/8 scale buggies, crawlers and even 1/10 scale race boats, giving you plenty of room to work comfortably without feeling cramped.
• Specially Designed Compartments and Recesses — The moulded compartments keep your small parts, fasteners, bearings, screws and tools organised and prevent them from rolling away or disappearing during your work session, saving you frustration and helping you locate components quickly.
• Smooth and Grippy Surface — The finish provides the perfect balance between a smooth working surface for precision work and enough grip to prevent tools and components from sliding around unexpectedly during assembly, upgrades and maintenance operations.
• Excellent Cushioning Properties — The rubber construction absorbs impacts and provides gentle support for delicate electronic components, motors, servos and suspension parts, protecting them from damage whilst you work on your RC car, truck, buggy, boat or crawler.
• Furniture and Workbench Protection — The heavy-duty mat sits between your RC model and your workbench or table, preventing scratches, stains, chemical damage and dents that could otherwise occur when working on your ready to run RC vehicles.
• Professional Traxxas Branding — The iconic Traxxas logo is moulded directly into the mat surface, giving your workspace a professional appearance and demonstrating your commitment to quality RC hobby practice.
• Compact Storage — The mat rolls up for easy storage when not in use, meaning it doesn't take up valuable space in your workshop or hobby room, yet is always ready to deploy when you need a proper work surface.

Technical Performance

The Traxxas 36x20in pit mat represents the gold standard in RC workbench accessories, engineered from heavy-gauge chemical-resistant rubber that has been specifically chosen for its durability, protective properties and professional finishing. The mat's construction methodology ensures it can handle the demands of regular RC work including engine fuel contact, lubricant exposure, solvent spills and the general abrasion that comes from working with metal parts, tools and components on its surface. The rubber formulation provides natural cushioning that protects delicate items like brushless motors, electronic speed controllers, servos and batteries from impact damage, whilst the moulded recesses and compartments are engineered to precise dimensions to keep fasteners and small parts organised and visible. The smooth finish combined with subtle grip characteristics means your tools remain under control during precision work such as servo installation, motor installation, gear box assembly and suspension tuning, whether you're working on 1/10 scale short course trucks, 1/10 scale 4WD buggies, 1/6 scale crawlers, 1/10 scale race boats or any other ready to run RC model. Measuring exactly 91.4 x 50.8cm, the working surface accommodates the full size of vehicles ranging from compact 1/16 scale trucks up to full-size 1/10 scale platforms, whilst the overall mat footprint fits comfortably on standard workbenches and tables. The weight and thickness of the mat provide stability during use, preventing shifting and movement even when significant pressure is applied during component installation or when you're working with heavier hand tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What vehicles is the Traxxas pit mat compatible with? — The 36x20 inch working surface accommodates most Traxxas models including the Slash 1/16 and Slash 1/10 short course trucks in all variants, the E-Revo VXL 1/16 monster truck, Slash Ultimate 4x4 brushless models, TRX-4 trail crawlers including the Ford F-150, Chevrolet K10 and 2021 Bronco versions, TRX-4 Sport models, WideMaxx and X-Maxx monster trucks, Spartan and Spartan SR race boats, UDR unlimited desert racer, and many other Traxxas ready to run RC vehicles in various scales from 1/16 through to 1/10 scale.
• Is this pit mat suitable for beginners learning RC car maintenance? — Yes, absolutely. The compartments and recesses are specifically designed to help beginners keep small parts organised and prevent losing fasteners, making the learning process easier and more enjoyable. The cushioning protects valuable brushless motors and electronic components from accidental drops, and the smooth surface makes it easier to work with hand tools and precision instruments. Whether you're a weekend basher or a seasoned competitor, this mat enhances your work experience.
• How does this protect my workbench or table? — The heavy-gauge rubber construction acts as a physical barrier between your RC vehicle, tools and components, and your underlying furniture. It prevents chemical damage from fuel, oils and solvents, protects against scratches from metal parts and tools, absorbs impacts that might otherwise dent or damage wooden or laminate surfaces, and prevents staining from lubricants and cleaning products commonly used in RC maintenance.
• Can the pit mat be stored away when not in use? — Yes, the mat rolls up compactly for convenient storage when you're not actively working on your RC models. This means you can keep your workshop or hobby space organised without the mat taking up permanent floor space, simply rolling it out whenever you need a professional work surface.
• What is the difference between this mat and using newspaper or cardboard? — The Traxxas rubber mat offers vastly superior protection and durability compared to disposable paper or cardboard. Paper solutions get wet and disintegrate when exposed to fuel or solvents, offer no real cushioning for delicate components, provide no organisation for small parts, and need replacing frequently. The rubber mat is reusable indefinitely, chemical-resistant, provides excellent impact protection, includes moulded compartments for parts organisation, has a professional finish and actually protects your underlying workbench from damage.
