Key Features
- Aluminium Construction — The body mounts are manufactured from lightweight aluminium alloy, which provides exceptional strength and rigidity whilst minimising added weight to your drift car, helping maintain responsive handling and precision control during fast cornering manoeuvres.
- Magnetic Mounting Technology — The integrated magnetic system allows for quick and easy body attachment and removal without the need for traditional fasteners, making setup changes and maintenance infinitely faster and more convenient at the track or at home.
- Purpose-Built for Drift Cars — This mount set has been specifically engineered for drift car applications, taking into account the unique demands and forces encountered during sideways driving and high-speed cornering that standard body mounts simply cannot handle effectively.
- Premium Fastrax Engineering — Fastrax is recognised across the UK RC community as a manufacturer of high-quality upgrade parts and accessories, and this body mount set represents the brand's dedication to helping drivers achieve better performance and handling characteristics.
- Complete Mount Set — The package includes all the necessary mounting components required to properly secure your body to the chassis, ensuring you have everything needed for a complete installation without having to source additional parts elsewhere.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Aluminium Magnetic Body Mount Set delivers professional-grade performance through its precision-engineered aluminium construction and innovative magnetic mounting system. The use of aluminium as the primary material ensures that the mounts are significantly lighter than plastic alternatives whilst offering superior rigidity and structural integrity under the demanding forces of competitive drift driving. The magnetic technology integrated into this system provides a secure holding force that keeps your body firmly attached to the chassis during high-speed runs and aggressive cornering, whilst simultaneously allowing for tool-free removal when you need to access the chassis or swap body shells. This clever engineering solution addresses one of the key frustrations with traditional body mount systems, which require screws or clips that can loosen over time or be inconvenient to manage trackside. For RC drift car enthusiasts in the UK, this represents a genuine technical advantage that translates into better on-track performance, reduced setup time, and improved overall driving experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Fastrax magnetic body mount system suitable for beginners or only experienced RC drift drivers? — Whilst this product is designed with drift cars in mind and will benefit drivers at all skill levels, it's particularly valuable for those who have progressed beyond their first RC car and are serious about improving their vehicle's performance. Beginners can certainly use this product, but they may not fully appreciate the advantages until they've developed their drift car handling skills on a standard setup first.
- Will this magnetic body mount system work with my existing RC drift car? — The Fastrax Aluminium Magnetic Body Mount Set has been engineered for drift car compatibility, though specific fitment may vary depending on your particular RC car model and chassis. We recommend checking your vehicle's specifications or contacting our experienced team at RC Model Shop to confirm compatibility with your specific setup.
- How does the magnetic mounting compare to traditional screw-on body mounts? — The magnetic system offers several advantages over traditional mounts: tool-free installation and removal, consistent holding force that doesn't loosen with vibration, quicker body swaps at the track, and a cleaner appearance without visible fasteners. The aluminium construction also provides superior rigidity compared to plastic mounts, which can flex slightly under load and affect handling precision.
- How secure is the magnetic mounting during aggressive driving? — Fastrax has engineered the magnetic force strength specifically for drift car applications, ensuring the body remains securely attached even during high-speed cornering, sideways sliding, and the intense manoeuvres that characterise competitive drift driving. The magnetic hold is strong enough for serious track use whilst still allowing intentional removal when needed.
- Are there any maintenance requirements for this body mount system? — The aluminium construction is durable and requires minimal maintenance. Simply keep the magnetic surfaces clean and free from dirt or debris to maintain optimal holding strength, and periodically inspect the mounts for any signs of wear or damage.
