Key Features
- Painless Marking System — At last, marking bodyshell points accurately doesn't have to be a chore. Simply place the marker on top of your body posts, press down, and you have ready-made marks showing exactly where your mounting points are located. This eliminates the need for pencils, tape, or freehand guessing, which are all prone to error and misalignment.
- Precision Accuracy — These markers ensure that your bodyshell mounting points are marked with perfect accuracy, which is essential for proper body fitment on any RC car, truck, buggy, or crawler. Accurate hole marking directly translates to better body alignment, improved aesthetics, and reliable structural integrity of your model.
- Quick and Easy Application — The simple place-and-press methodology means you can mark your body posts in seconds rather than minutes, making this an efficient addition to your RC workshop workflow. Whether you're preparing multiple bodies or working on a one-off custom project, the speed of this system is a genuine time-saver.
- Professional Results — By providing consistent, repeatable marks every time, these hole markers help achieve professional-quality results that rival what you'd get from a machine shop or professional body fabricator, all from your own workbench.
- Universal Compatibility — Designed to work with standard body posts found across the RC hobby, these markers are a versatile accessory suitable for various platforms and scales, from scale crawlers to high-speed buggies and everything in between.
- Compact and Portable — Being lightweight and taking up minimal space, these markers are easy to store in your RC tool kit or workshop drawer, ready to pull out whenever you need them for a new build or body modification.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Bodypost Hole Markers FAST207 are engineered for simplicity and reliability. Rather than being an electronic device or complex mechanical assembly, these markers work on a straightforward principle that focuses on transferring the position of body posts onto the inside surface of your bodyshell. The design ensures that when you place the markers on your posts and apply light downward pressure, they create visible marks at precisely the right locations. This is particularly valuable when you're working with fibreglass or polycarbonate bodies, where visibility and precision are critical. The markers are constructed to withstand repeated use across multiple bodyshell applications, making them a durable addition to any RC modeller's toolkit. Whether you're building a custom crawler that requires perfect panel alignment, setting up a ready to run RC buggy with aftermarket bodywork, or restoring a vintage RC model with original specifications, these markers deliver consistent performance. The engineering philosophy behind this product recognises that the most elegant solutions are often the simplest ones—and in this case, that simplicity is precisely what makes these markers so effective and beloved by RC enthusiasts throughout the UK and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do the Fastrax Bodypost Hole Markers work? — Simply place the markers on top of your body posts and press down gently. The markers transfer the exact position of your posts onto the inside surface of your bodyshell, creating ready-made marks that show you precisely where to drill or align your mounting holes. It's a mechanical marking system that requires no tools, no measuring, and no guesswork.
- Are these markers suitable for all body types and scales? — Yes, these markers are designed to work with standard body posts used across various RC scales and vehicle types. Whether you're working with a 1/10 buggy body, a 1/8 truggy shell, or a 1/4 scale crawler body, the markers will work effectively as long as your vehicle uses conventional body posts.
- Can I use these markers on fibreglass and polycarbonate bodies? — Absolutely. These markers work equally well on both fibreglass and polycarbonate (lexan) bodies, which are the two most common bodyshell materials in the RC hobby. The marks they create are visible on both materials and are easily removable if needed.
- How many times can I reuse these markers? — The markers are durable and designed for repeated use across multiple bodyshell applications. They'll maintain their effectiveness through many marking sessions, making them an excellent long-term investment for your RC workshop.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, absolutely. In fact, beginners benefit most from this product because it eliminates one of the most error-prone steps in bodyshell preparation. If you're new to RC car assembly and customisation, these markers will help you achieve professional-quality results from your very first project.
- What is the difference between these markers and manual marking methods? — Manual marking using pencils, tape, or measuring is time-consuming, prone to misalignment, and difficult to repeat consistently. These Fastrax markers remove all of that frustration by providing instant, accurate, repeatable marking that takes just seconds. There's simply no comparison in terms of speed, accuracy, and ease of use.
- Can these markers be used on custom or modified bodies? — Yes. In fact, these markers are particularly valuable when working with non-standard or heavily modified bodies where visual alignment is challenging. They'll mark your posts accurately regardless of body size, shape, or configuration.
