Key Features

• Complete Fire Safety Package — The product includes both a functional fire extinguisher and a purpose-designed alloy mounting bracket, providing a complete safety solution rather than requiring separate components to be sourced elsewhere. This integrated approach ensures you have everything needed to secure and deploy the extinguisher quickly in an emergency.
• Robust Alloy Mount — The aluminium alloy mounting bracket is engineered for durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring it will withstand years of use in outdoor pit environments and workshop conditions. The solid construction means the mount won't flex or fail when you need to quickly access the fire extinguisher.
• High-Visibility Green Colour — The distinctive green finish makes the fire extinguisher immediately visible in your pit area, even at busy RC tracks where multiple setups are running simultaneously. This bright colour means you won't waste precious seconds searching for safety equipment during an emergency.
• Easy Wall or Pit Box Mounting — The alloy bracket allows flexible installation options, enabling you to mount the extinguisher on a wall in your workshop, secure it to your portable pit box, or attach it to your equipment storage. This versatility means the safety equipment is always within arm's reach regardless of where you're running your RC vehicles.
• Professional RC Track Compliance — Many organised RC racing events and clubs across the UK require fire extinguishers to be present in pit areas. This Fastrax package meets those requirements, making it an essential piece of equipment if you participate in sanctioned racing or formal track days.
• Compact Design — Despite being fully functional, the extinguisher maintains a compact footprint that doesn't monopolise workspace in your pit setup or take excessive storage space in your RC workshop. The streamlined design means you can store it alongside other pit equipment without creating clutter.

Technical Performance

The Fastrax Fire Extinguisher & Alloy Mount represents a carefully engineered safety solution designed specifically for the RC hobby market. The fire extinguisher itself is ready to use immediately upon purchase, requiring no assembly or activation beyond basic mounting with the supplied alloy bracket. The aluminium alloy construction of the bracket provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring the mount can securely hold the extinguisher even in vibration-prone pit environments where other equipment may be moved or bumped. The engineering emphasises accessibility and rapid deployment — the mount is designed so the extinguisher can be quickly removed when needed, and the mounting hardware is robust enough to keep it secure during transport between venues or storage in your RC workshop. UK RC enthusiasts who operate nitro-powered vehicles at various scales, from competitive 1/8 scale off-road buggies to recreational 1/10 scale monsters trucks, will appreciate the universal compatibility of this safety package.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Do I really need a fire extinguisher for my RC hobby? — Yes, particularly if you operate nitro-powered RC vehicles. Nitro engines run at extremely high temperatures and use pressurised fuel systems, creating genuine fire hazards during refuelling, engine starting, or operation. Many UK RC clubs and organised racing events require fire extinguishers to be present in pit areas as a mandatory safety measure. Even if not required at your local venue, having one demonstrates responsible ownership and protects you, your equipment, and others around you.
• What type of fire does this extinguisher handle? — The Fastrax fire extinguisher is suitable for the types of fires most commonly encountered in RC pit environments, including fuel fires and equipment fires. It's effective for rapidly suppressing small fires that might occur during refuelling or engine operation before they escalate into major incidents.
• Can I mount this permanently in my workshop? — Absolutely. The alloy bracket is designed for flexible mounting options, allowing you to install the extinguisher on a workshop wall where it's immediately accessible during engine starts or refuelling sessions. The secure mounting ensures it won't fall or shift during normal workshop activities.
• Is this suitable for all RC vehicle types? — This fire extinguisher and mount package is essential for anyone operating nitro-powered RC vehicles, regardless of whether you're running 1/8 scale buggy race kits, 1/10 scale monster trucks, or other nitro models. Electric RC car owners may find it less critical unless they're also working with nitro equipment at the same venue. The universal mounting design makes it suitable for pit areas supporting multiple vehicle types.
• How do I know when the extinguisher needs replacing? — Fire extinguishers lose pressure over time and should be regularly inspected. Most standard fire safety protocols recommend checking the pressure gauge monthly and servicing or replacing the extinguisher annually, particularly if it's been stored in outdoor conditions. The mounting bracket will remain suitable indefinitely, protecting your long-term investment in safety equipment.
• What makes the Fastrax mount better than just loose storage? — The dedicated alloy bracket ensures your fire extinguisher is always in the same place, reducing response time during emergencies when seconds count. Loose storage means you might waste precious time locating the extinguisher, and it's more likely to be accidentally moved or misplaced in a busy pit environment. The professional mounting setup also demonstrates compliance with club safety requirements at organised RC events.
