Designed specifically for reinforcing RC bodyshells, this tape helps prolong the life of your investment by providing extra structural support where it matters most. The strong fibre construction makes it ideal for protecting your RC car during transport, storage, and most importantly, during those adrenaline-fuelled driving sessions. Many experienced RC enthusiasts across the UK consider reinforcing tape an indispensable part of their maintenance routine, particularly for protecting mounting holes and ensuring their bodyshell remains intact through repeated impacts and stress points.

At just 50mm wide and 4 metres long, you'll have plenty of tape to work with, whether you're applying it around body post mounting holes or performing a thorough internal tape-up of your RC vehicle. This versatile product works with virtually any RC car type, from small-scale models to larger chassis, making it a genuinely universal accessory that every RC enthusiast should have on hand.

Key Features

• 50mm Wide Format — The generous 50mm width provides excellent coverage and makes it easy to reinforce large areas of your bodyshell efficiently, reducing the number of strips you need to apply whilst maintaining complete protection.
• 4 Metre Length — With 4 metres of tape supplied, you'll have sufficient material to reinforce multiple RC cars or perform thorough internal and external tape-ups on a single vehicle, representing exceptional value for money.
• Strong Fibre Construction — The reinforced fibre material provides genuine structural support that goes beyond standard tape, offering superior durability and resistance to tearing during impacts and collisions.
• Mega-Sticky Adhesive — The premium adhesive formulation delivers exceptional holding power that keeps your tape firmly in place throughout intense driving sessions, ensuring your bodyshell reinforcement doesn't shift or peel away at critical moments.
• Excellent Adhesion Properties — When applied to clean surfaces, the tape achieves outstanding adhesion that bonds securely to your bodyshell material, creating a permanent reinforcement that won't let you down.
• Ideal for Body Post Mounting Holes — One of the most common failure points on RC car bodyshells is around body post mounting holes where stress concentrates during impact; this tape provides targeted reinforcement exactly where your bodyshell needs it most.
• Perfect for Complete Internal Tape-Up — Beyond spot reinforcement, you can use this tape to perform a thorough internal tape-up of your entire bodyshell, distributing stress more evenly and dramatically improving overall structural integrity.
• Pit Box Essential — This tape should be an accidental accessory in any serious RC enthusiast's pit box, alongside other essential maintenance items and spare parts.
• General-Use Versatility — Unlike specialist tapes limited to specific applications, the RC Overhaul Reinforced Tape works as a general-use solution for countless bodyshell reinforcement scenarios.

Technical Performance

The RC Overhaul Reinforced Tape represents a straightforward yet highly effective approach to bodyshell protection and reinforcement. With dimensions of 50mm width and 4 metres in length, this tape provides substantial coverage for most RC car applications. The strong fibre construction distinguishes it from standard adhesive tape, offering genuine structural reinforcement rather than merely superficial support. The mega-sticky adhesive formulation ensures that once applied to a clean surface, the tape will remain firmly bonded throughout your driving sessions, resisting the vibrations, impacts and stresses that RC cars experience. The engineering philosophy behind this product focuses on maximum durability and reliability; by distributing stress across reinforced areas, the tape helps prevent catastrophic bodyshell failures at critical mounting points. The adhesive specifically requires application to clean surfaces to achieve optimal performance, which means a quick wipe-down of your bodyshell with a dry cloth before application will deliver superior results compared to applying it to dusty or contaminated surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is reinforced tape used for on RC cars? — Reinforced tape is used to strengthen your RC car bodyshell by adding extra structural support around vulnerable areas, particularly body post mounting holes where stress concentrates during impacts. Many RC enthusiasts also perform complete internal tape-ups to distribute stress evenly across the entire bodyshell, dramatically improving durability and extending the lifespan of their vehicles.
• How should I apply the RC Overhaul Reinforced Tape for best results? — To achieve excellent adhesion and maximum effectiveness, ensure that the surface where you're applying the tape is completely clean and free from dust, dirt and contamination. A quick wipe with a dry cloth is usually sufficient to prepare your bodyshell. Once the surface is clean, apply the tape firmly, pressing it down thoroughly to ensure the mega-sticky adhesive bonds completely with your bodyshell material.
• Is this reinforced tape suitable for all RC car types? — Yes, the RC Overhaul Reinforced Tape is a general-use product designed to work with virtually any RC car type and bodyshell material. Whether you own a small-scale RC buggy, a monster truck, a short course truck or any other RC vehicle type, this tape will provide effective reinforcement and protection.
• How much coverage will 4 metres of tape provide? — At 50mm wide, a single 4-metre roll provides 2 square metres of coverage, which is sufficient to reinforce multiple mounting holes on several vehicles or to perform a thorough internal tape-up on a single car. Most RC enthusiasts find that one roll lasts through several reinforcement projects.
• Can I use this tape on the exterior of my bodyshell? — Whilst you can apply this tape to the exterior, many experienced RC users prefer to use it for internal reinforcement where it won't affect the visual appearance of their bodyshell. However, for areas that receive repeated impacts, such as around mounting holes and stress points, external application is perfectly acceptable.
• What makes this tape better than standard packaging tape? — The RC Overhaul Reinforced Tape features strong fibre construction and mega-sticky adhesive formulation specifically engineered for RC applications, offering superior durability and holding power compared to general-purpose packaging tape, which typically lacks the structural reinforcement and adhesive strength needed for RC bodyshell protection.
