Overview
Keep your RC workshop organised and your shock oils easily accessible with the Traxxas Spinning Carousel Rack without Oil TRX5038. Whether you're a dedicated RC car enthusiast in the UK competing at the track, a weekend basher, or a serious hobbyist maintaining multiple vehicles, oil organisation is a critical part of pit management. This spinning carousel rack provides the perfect solution for storing and displaying your complete set of shock oils, ensuring you always have the right viscosity at hand when you need to adjust your RC car's suspension setup. The carousel design means you'll never waste time searching through a cluttered parts box again.
The Traxxas Spinning Carousel Rack is an essential pit gadget for anyone serious about RC performance. Proper shock oil management is fundamental to fine-tuning your RC car's handling characteristics, and this dedicated storage solution keeps all seven oils organised, visible and within immediate reach. The carousel's rotating design on smooth-running bearings makes accessing any bottle quick and effortless, even when you're in the middle of suspension adjustments at the track or during home maintenance sessions. For RC enthusiasts across the UK who take their hobby seriously, this is a genuine quality-of-life improvement for your RC pit setup.
Available without the oil assortment (this is the TRX5038 model), you have the flexibility to purchase the carousel separately and fill it with your preferred shock oils over time, or use it with oils you already own. This makes it an economical choice for experienced RC car modellers who've already accumulated their own collection of Traxxas shock fluids and want to consolidate everything into one organised system.
Key Features
- Premium Bearing Spinner — The carousel rides smoothly on precision bearings, allowing effortless 360-degree rotation so you can quickly access whichever shock oil bottle you need without lifting or removing anything from the rack. The bearing design ensures consistent, smooth spinning action even after months of regular use in a busy pit environment.
- Holds Seven Bottles — This spinning carousel rack accommodates the complete full set of Traxxas shock oils, holding seven individual bottles in organised radial positions around the carousel. This means you can store your entire shock oil assortment in one compact, easy-to-access location, keeping your pit setup tidy and professional.
- Compact Pit Gadget Design — Engineered specifically for RC enthusiasts and pit workshops, this carousel is sized perfectly for workshop benches, pit boxes and garage workbenches. Its vertical carousel design maximises space efficiency whilst keeping all your oils visible and within arm's reach during setup and maintenance sessions.
- Available With or Without Oil — You can purchase this spinning carousel rack as a standalone unit (TRX5038, without oils) or with a complete assortment of shock oils included, giving you flexibility based on your existing collection and budget.
- Traxxas Quality Engineering — As an official Traxxas pit accessory, this carousel is manufactured to the same exacting standards as Traxxas RC cars, buggies, trucks and accessories, ensuring durability and reliability in demanding pit environments.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Spinning Carousel Rack TRX5038 is engineered with precision bearings that provide smooth, reliable rotational movement through hundreds of access cycles. The carousel's bearing system is designed to minimise friction and wobbling, ensuring that even when fully loaded with seven bottles of shock oil, the rack spins smoothly and predictably. The construction is robust enough to withstand the demands of regular pit use, whether you're at a weekly club meeting, a regional competition, or maintaining your RC collection at home. The circular carousel design with radial bottle positions allows you to view all seven shock oil bottles simultaneously without rotation, or spin to any particular viscosity instantly. This design philosophy reflects Traxxas's commitment to creating practical, user-focused pit accessories that solve real organisational challenges for RC car UK enthusiasts. The TRX5038 model specifically excludes the oil assortment, making it ideal for pilots who already own shock oils or prefer to build their collection gradually with specific viscosity grades tailored to their particular RC vehicles and driving conditions.
