Key Features

• X-Long Body Pin Design — The extended length of this body pin is specifically engineered to work with 1/8th scale RC vehicles, accommodating the larger chassis and body panels that characterise this scale category. This ensures a secure, stable fit that won't allow your body shell to shift or move during aggressive driving, protecting your investment and maintaining consistent performance.
• Fluorescent Pink Colour — The bright fluorescent pink finish serves dual purposes: it makes your body pins instantly visible and easy to locate during maintenance sessions, and it adds a striking visual element to your RC car's appearance. Colour-coded spares help you organise your parts collection and identify components at a glance on a busy workbench.
• 1/8th Scale Compatibility — Designed and manufactured to precise tolerances for 1/8th scale RC vehicles, this body pin integrates seamlessly with popular 1/8th scale platforms including off-road buggies, truggies, crawlers, and competition-grade machines from manufacturers like Traxxas, Team Associated, Losi, Mugen, HPI, Rival, Axial, Tamiya and more.
• Durable Construction — Fastrax body pins are engineered for repeated use and removal without deformation or failure. Whether you're swapping bodies weekly during competitive racing or performing regular maintenance on your brushless RC car, these pins maintain their structural integrity over countless cycles.
• Essential Spare Part — Body pins are consumable items that can be lost, damaged, or bent during regular use and maintenance. Having quality replacement pins in your spare parts box ensures you're never left unable to secure your body shell, allowing your RC hobby to continue without interruption.

Technical Performance

The Fastrax Fluorescent Pink X-Long Body Pin 1/8th represents precision engineering in miniature form. These body pins are manufactured to exacting standards to ensure perfect fitment with 1/8th scale RC vehicle body posts, whether your machine is powered by brushless or nitro propulsion. The extended length accommodates the dimensional requirements of larger scale bodies and chassis platforms, preventing gaps or loose fitment that could compromise aerodynamics or allow body movement during high-speed running. The fluorescent pink colour is applied with durability in mind, resisting fade from UV exposure and remaining vibrant even after extended outdoor use. Quality body pins like these are critical infrastructure for any serious RC setup—they're small components that play an outsized role in maintaining the structural coherence and appearance of your model. Whether you're running a competition-grade 1/8th scale off-road buggy on a challenging track, a high-speed truggy on open terrain, or a rock crawling 4x4 through technical obstacles, these body pins provide the reliable performance you need from your spare parts. The X-Long configuration ensures compatibility across the widest range of 1/8th scale platforms available in the UK RC market.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What scale RC vehicles is this body pin designed for? — This is a 1/8th scale body pin, making it suitable for 1/8th scale RC buggies, truggies, crawlers, and other large-format RC vehicles. The X-Long variant is specifically engineered for the larger body posts and chassis dimensions typical of 1/8th scale machines. If you're unsure whether your RC car requires 1/8th scale body pins, check your vehicle's manual or measure the distance from the body post to the tip—1/8th scale pins are significantly longer than their 1/10th scale counterparts.
• Why should I buy Fastrax spare parts for my RC car? — Fastrax is an established manufacturer trusted by RC enthusiasts across the UK and globally for producing quality, reliable spare parts that integrate seamlessly with major RC platforms. Using genuine Fastrax components ensures proper fitment and durability, preventing the frustration of ill-fitting or quickly-failing spares that can interrupt your RC hobby. Fastrax parts are designed with precision and manufactured to consistent standards, meaning you can replace worn or lost components with confidence.
• How many body pins do I need for my 1/8th scale RC car? — Most 1/8th scale RC vehicles use between two and four body pins, depending on the specific platform and body design. It's wise to keep several spare pins in your toolbox and spare parts collection, as they can be lost, bent, or damaged during regular use and maintenance. Having extras on hand ensures you're never left unable to secure your body shell when you want to drive.
• Can I use 1/10th scale body pins instead of 1/8th scale? — No, 1/10th scale body pins are not compatible with 1/8th scale vehicles. The extended length of the 1/8th scale variant is specifically required to properly fit the larger body posts and chassis dimensions of 1/8th scale machines. Using incorrect-sized pins will result in loose fitment, potential body movement during driving, and reduced structural integrity of your vehicle.
• Is this body pin suitable for both nitro and brushless RC cars? — Yes, body pins are universal components that work with any powertrain type. Whether your 1/8th scale RC car is powered by a brushless motor or a nitro engine, this Fastrax body pin will securely hold your body shell in place and function identically.
