Key Features

• CNC Aluminium Cover — The precision-engineered aluminium cover is manufactured using CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining, ensuring perfectly toleranced components that work together seamlessly for consistent, accurate hole drilling every time you use the tool.
• Self-Starting Point — The integrated self-starting point means the reamer automatically finds and locks into position when you begin drilling, eliminating the frustration of the tool wandering or slipping at the start of the hole and ensuring your first puncture is perfectly placed.
• Hole Sizes from 3mm to 14.5mm — The comprehensive range of reamer sizes accommodates virtually every body mounting application across different RC scales, from small wing posts to large body panels, giving you one tool that handles multiple projects without requiring separate purchases.
• Clean Hole Production — Unlike standard drills that can tear or fray plastic bodywork, this specialised reamer cuts clean holes with smooth edges and no material tearing, meaning your finished models look professional and mounting components fit securely without gaps or stress on the plastic.
• Specifically Designed for Body and Rear Wing Mounting — This tool is purpose-built for RC body applications rather than being a generic reamer, so every feature is optimised for the exact task of mounting RC car bodies and rear wings perfectly.
• Identification Points for Accurate Size Selection — Each reamer size is clearly marked with identification points, making it simple to quickly select the exact diameter you need without confusion, saving setup time and reducing the risk of drilling the wrong size hole.
• Anodised Aluminium Handle — The handle is anodised for durability and corrosion resistance, protecting the aluminium from oxidation and ensuring the tool remains smooth and comfortable to grip through hundreds of drilling operations without deteriorating.
• Cap Locator and Rear Handle Design — Thoughtful design features include a cap locator during use and a shaped rear handle section, both of which improve grip control, comfort during operation, and secure storage when not in use, making the tool more ergonomic and user-friendly than basic alternatives.

Technical Performance

The Fastrax Super Body Reamer represents a significant step up in quality compared to standard drills for RC body work. Built from sturdy aluminium throughout, the tool weighs just enough to provide positive cutting action without requiring excessive hand pressure, reducing fatigue during longer session work on multiple vehicles. The CNC-manufactured cover ensures perfect alignment of each reamer size, delivering concentric, clean holes without the wandering or chatter you'd experience with lesser tools. The self-starting point geometry is engineered specifically for plastic materials used in RC body shells, preventing the common problem of plastic tearing or melting that can occur with unsuitable cutting tools. The range spanning 3mm through to 14.5mm accommodates everything from small indicator holes on crawler bodies through to large mounting bosses on truggy and buggy platforms. The anodised aluminium handle provides an excellent grip surface that won't become slippery with plastic dust or perspiration during extended use. This is a professional-grade tool that performs like equipment found in dedicated RC workshops, yet remains accessible and affordable for home builders. The build quality suggests this tool will remain in your RC toolkit for many years of reliable service, making it exceptional value as a one-time investment for a lifetime of perfect body holes.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the Fastrax Super Body Reamer used for? — This specialist tool is designed specifically for drilling clean, accurate mounting holes in RC car bodies, wings, and bodywork. Rather than using a standard drill which can tear plastic and create rough edges, the Super Body Reamer cuts smooth holes perfectly sized for body posts, wing mounts, and other RC-specific applications. It's essential equipment for anyone building or customising RC vehicles in the UK.
• What size holes can this reamer produce? — The tool provides a continuous range of hole sizes from 3mm up to 14.5mm in diameter, covering virtually every standard RC body mounting application across different scales and vehicle types, from small buggies through to larger crawlers and trucks.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. In fact, beginners benefit most from using this tool because the self-starting point and precision engineering prevent the mistakes that occur with standard drills. The clear identification markings make size selection foolproof, and the anodised handle provides excellent comfort and control even for users new to RC model building and customisation.
• What makes this better than a standard power drill? — Standard power drills with twist bits are designed for metal and wood, not the plastic materials used in RC bodies. They can wander, cause plastic melting or tearing, and rarely produce perfectly clean holes. The Fastrax Super Body Reamer is engineered specifically for plastic body shells with a self-starting point, correct cutting geometry, and the right materials to produce clean holes every time without damage to expensive bodywork.
• How do I use the Fastrax Super Body Reamer? — Simply select the correct size hole needed for your body mounting location using the identification markings, position the reamer point where you want the hole, and apply gentle downward pressure whilst rotating slowly by hand. The self-starting point does the work of finding and starting the hole, and the specialised cutting edges produce a clean result without tearing the plastic. No power tools required, giving you complete control.
• Will this work on all RC body types? — Yes, this tool is designed for use on all types of plastic RC bodies regardless of brand or scale, whether you're working on Traxxas, Losi, ARRMA, Tamiya, Team Associated or any other RC vehicle with a plastic body shell or wing assembly.
• How long does this tool last? — With proper care, the anodised aluminium construction ensures this tool will remain in perfect working condition for many years and hundreds of drilling operations. The anodising protects against corrosion, and the CNC precision engineering means it won't wear out or lose accuracy with normal use.
