The Fastrax Metallic Purple Small Clips are manufactured to exacting standards by Fastrax, a respected brand within the RC hobby community. These clips feature solid construction designed to withstand the stresses and vibrations encountered during RC car operation, whether you're driving a high-speed RC buggy, a rock-crawling RC vehicle, or pushing the limits of your RC drift car.
