Technical Performance

The Fastrax Small Metallic Green Long Body Pins are precision-engineered components manufactured to exacting tolerances to ensure consistent fit and performance across all 1/10th scale touring car applications. The long body design provides superior engagement depth compared to shorter alternatives, creating a more secure connection between your RC car bodyshell and chassis frame. The metallic green finish is applied to a robust underlying material that resists corrosion and wear from repeated installation and removal cycles, ensuring these pins maintain their structural integrity through countless track sessions and maintenance procedures. When properly installed, these body pins distribute clamping force evenly across the body mounting points, preventing the rocking and shifting that can occur with worn or inferior pins. This stability is particularly important during high-speed cornering and aggressive acceleration on the track, where any movement of the bodyshell can affect aerodynamics and handling characteristics. The precision manufacturing ensures that all four pins in the pack are identical, eliminating the inconsistency problems that can arise when mixing different types or brands of body pins on a single vehicle.

• 4 x Fastrax Small Metallic Green Long Body Pins for 1/10th scale RC cars

Frequently Asked Questions

• What RC cars are these body pins compatible with? — These long body pins are designed for 1/10th scale touring cars from all major manufacturers. They work with most contemporary 1/10th scale touring platforms commonly used in the UK RC car community, including vehicles from manufacturers like Traxxas, Team Losi, Team Associated and other brands that use standard body pin hole spacing. Always check your specific vehicle's manual to confirm compatibility before installation.
• How many pins do I get in each pack? — Each pack contains four Fastrax Small Metallic Green Long Body Pins, which is exactly the number required for a full body installation on a 1/10th scale touring car, with the bonus of having spares for future maintenance and replacement.
• Why do body pins need to be replaced regularly? — Body pins experience continuous stress from being tightened and loosened during maintenance, body adjustments, and track changes. Over time, the material fatigues and the pins can become bent or cracked, no longer providing adequate clamping force. Regular replacement ensures your bodyshell remains securely attached and maintains its intended aerodynamic properties throughout the racing season.
• Are these pins suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. Body pin installation is one of the simplest maintenance tasks in RC car ownership. Even complete beginners can easily install these pins by aligning them with the body mounting holes and pressing them firmly into place. This makes replacement body pins like these an ideal first spare part purchase for newcomers to the RC car UK hobby.
• What's the difference between long body pins and standard pins? — Long body pins extend further through the mounting holes, providing greater engagement depth and a more secure connection between the bodyshell and chassis. This extra length prevents rotation and shifting of the body during driving, particularly important during high-speed track sessions and competitive racing.
• Can these pins be used on other RC car types? — These pins are specifically engineered for 1/10th scale touring cars. While they may be compatible with some other 1/10th scale vehicles, compatibility cannot be guaranteed. For other RC car types such as buggies, monster trucks, or crawlers, Fastrax manufactures pins specifically designed for those applications with appropriate hole spacing and engagement characteristics.
