Overview
The Fastrax Luggage Bungee Cord L100mm (FAST2315BK) is an essential scale accessory for RC enthusiasts who want to add authentic detail and practical functionality to their RC crawler and scale model vehicles. Whether you are running a Traxxas TRX-4, Axial SCX10 II, RC4WD Gelande II, or any other 1/10 scale RC car UK enthusiasts favour, this black elastic bungee cord brings real-world realism to your setup whilst also serving a genuinely useful purpose during transport and storage. The 100mm length makes it perfectly proportioned for 1/10 scale models, creating that convincing expedition-ready look that separates a basic RC crawler from a truly immersive scale build.
Fastrax is renowned for producing high-quality scale accessories that bridge the gap between function and aesthetics, and this luggage bungee cord exemplifies that philosophy perfectly. Rather than being purely cosmetic, this cord actually works brilliantly as a practical tie for securing items to your RC vehicle, attaching your RC car to trailers, or even towing other RC vehicles—something enthusiasts regularly do at track days and outdoor events across the UK. The strong elastic construction means it holds firm without damaging your model's bodywork or paint, making it equally valuable for bashers and scale builders alike.
If you are serious about creating a fully detailed, realistic RC crawler or scale accessory setup, or if you simply want functional restraint straps for your RC transport needs, this bungee cord delivers excellent value at just £1.25. With availability in stock and genuine Fastrax engineering, this is the kind of small-but-essential part that completes your RC build.
Key Features
- 100mm Length — Perfectly sized for 1/10 scale RC vehicles, this 100mm measurement ensures the bungee cord looks proportionally correct on crawlers, scale buggies, and trail trucks without appearing oversized or out of place against your model's body.
- Black Colour — The black finish matches the luggage racks and expedition accessories commonly seen on full-size 4WD vehicles and overlanders, making it ideal for creating authentic scale scenes and builds that reflect real-world adventure vehicle aesthetics.
- Strong Elastic Construction — Unlike simple string or weak cord, this bungee features proper elastic properties that stretch and grip securely, meaning it holds gear in place during rough terrain running without slipping or coming loose, whilst also being gentle enough not to mark or damage painted bodywork.
- Versatile Functionality — This is far more than just a scale detail piece; the cord works brilliantly as a practical restraint for securing accessories, attaching RC vehicles during transport to trailers, or even towing other RC cars at clubs and events—something experienced RC enthusiasts regularly do with ready-to-run RC and race kit vehicles alike.
- Wide Vehicle Compatibility — The bungee cord fits a comprehensive range of 1/10 scale crawlers and scale models, including Traxxas TRX-4 variants (Chevrolet K10 Cheyenne, Ford F-150 Ranger, Chevy Blazer, Defender, Nissan Pathfinder), Axial SCX10 II, RC4WD Gelande II models, and HPI Venture platform vehicles—making it an essential spare for collectors with multiple models.
- Single Pack Quantity — One bungee cord per pack provides an individual restraint solution; enthusiasts typically purchase multiple units to add multiple tie-downs across a single model or to have spares for their entire RC fleet.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Luggage Bungee Cord is engineered with genuine elastic material and reinforced attachment points designed to withstand repeated stretching and the vibration-heavy environment of active RC crawler operation. The 100mm length specification is carefully chosen to match 1/10 scale proportions—significantly larger or smaller lengths would look incorrect and reduce functionality. The cord features metal coil reinforcement at both ends, providing secure anchor points that grip firmly without slipping, whilst the elastic material itself maintains tension even after hundreds of cycles. Customer feedback indicates these bungees are notably strong and reliable, though some experienced builders suggest adding heat-shrink tubing over the metal coils for improved appearance and a more finished look to complement scale-focused builds. The construction quality reflects Fastrax's reputation for producing durable, practical scale accessories that perform consistently across various environmental conditions including outdoor trail sessions and indoor track running.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Fastrax Luggage Bungee Cord suitable for all 1/10 scale RC crawlers? — Yes, the 100mm length is compatible with most 1/10 scale models including Traxxas TRX-4 series, Axial SCX10 II, RC4WD Gelande II, and HPI Venture platforms. The scale-correct proportion works across different crawler chassis types, though you should measure your intended vehicle to confirm adequate mounting points.
- Can I use this bungee cord for actual transport and restraint, or is it just decoration? — This is a dual-purpose product that works brilliantly for both scale realism and genuine function. Enthusiasts regularly use these cords to secure gear, attach RC vehicles to trailers during transport, and tow other RC cars at UK clubs and events. The strong elastic construction makes it far more practical than purely cosmetic accessories.
- What do other customers say about durability and strength? — Customer reviews consistently praise the bungee cord for being very strong and durable. Verified purchasers mention they work exceptionally well as scale accessories whilst remaining genuinely useful for securing items and tying down vehicles. Some experienced builders recommend adding shrink tubing over the metal coils for a more finished appearance on show-quality builds.
- How many bungee cords might I need? — This pack contains one bungee cord. Most serious RC crawler builders and collectors purchase multiple units—typically two to four per vehicle—to create realistic multi-point tie-down systems that mirror full-size 4WD expedition vehicles with multiple anchor points across roof racks, side rails, and bumpers.
- Will this damage my RC model's paint or bodywork? — No, the elastic construction is specifically engineered to be gentle on painted surfaces and composite bodywork. Unlike rigid metal straps or rope, the elastic cord distributes pressure evenly and won't mark or scratch your RC car, making it safe for even premium-finish models and show-quality builds.
- Is this part value for money? — At £1.25 per unit, this represents excellent value for a quality scale accessory that serves dual practical and aesthetic purposes. Compared to purchasing multiple individual bungee cords from general retailers, buying Fastrax genuine parts ensures compatibility and durability specifically designed for RC use.
