Antenna tubes might seem like a small detail, but they serve an important dual purpose: protecting your expensive receiver antenna from breakage and impact damage, and completing the visual presentation of your RC model. With six assorted colour options included in this pack, you'll have the flexibility to choose the perfect tube for your specific RC car setup, whether that's a 1/10 scale buggy, truck, or crawler. At just £1.99, these tubes represent outstanding value for any RC car builder or enthusiast.
Key Features
- Six Assorted Colours Included — This pack contains six individual antenna tubes in different colours, giving you maximum flexibility to match your chosen RC car colour scheme and ensure complete colour coordination from the chassis to the aerial. Rather than being limited to a single colour, you get variety to experiment with different looks or match multiple vehicles in your collection.
- Full Antenna Protection — Antenna tubes shield your receiver antenna from direct impacts, crashes, and rough handling that are inevitable in RC motorsport. This protective layer can mean the difference between your antenna surviving a heavy bash and needing expensive replacement, making this an essential safety accessory for any RC vehicle.
- Professional Colour Coding — Fastrax emphasises that colour is everything when it comes to RC car aesthetics. These coloured tubes allow you to extend your colour scheme all the way to the antenna, creating a polished, professional appearance that showcases attention to detail in your model setup. This is particularly important if you're competing or displaying your RC car.
- Maintains Signal Reception — Despite providing protection, these antenna tubes do not interfere with your receiver's ability to pick up signals from your transmitter. The design ensures that radio control range and responsiveness remain unaffected, so you get protection without performance compromise.
- Universal Compatibility — These antenna tubes are designed to work with standard RC receiver antennas across different scales and types of RC vehicles, making them a practical accessory for anyone with multiple RC cars in their collection. Whether you run 1/10 scale buggies, trucks, crawlers, or any other RC vehicle type, these tubes will fit standard antenna sizes.
- Lightweight Construction — The tubes add minimal weight to your RC vehicle, so there's no impact on performance, acceleration, or handling characteristics. This makes them ideal for competition use where every gram counts.
- Affordable Quality — Manufactured by Fastrax, a trusted brand in the RC hobby, these antenna tubes represent exceptional value at under £2.00. You get genuine quality construction at a price point that won't stretch your hobby budget.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Multi Coloured Assorted Antenna Tubes are engineered to provide reliable antenna protection without compromising the performance characteristics of your RC vehicle. Each tube in this six-piece set is constructed to withstand the demands of RC motorsport, from high-speed on-road racing to rugged off-road bashing and technical crawling. The tubes are designed to slip over your existing receiver antenna, providing a protective barrier against impacts whilst remaining flexible enough not to restrict antenna movement or damage the delicate antenna element inside. The multi-coloured assortment means you can select tubes that perfectly match your RC car's colour scheme, whether you're building a high-speed 1/10 scale buggy for competitive racing, a monster truck for bashing at your local RC track in the UK, or a detailed scale crawler. The construction utilises materials that maintain signal integrity, ensuring that your 2.4GHz receiver continues to operate at full range and responsiveness even when the antenna is protected. This is crucial for maintaining control during high-speed runs or when operating at distance from your RC vehicle. These tubes are a standard accessory found in the toolboxes of serious RC enthusiasts across the United Kingdom, proving their reliability and effectiveness over many years of real-world use.
