Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Fastrax Scale Painted Alloy Gas Bottle suitable for all 1/10 scale crawlers? — No, while this accessory is designed for 1/10 scale vehicles, it is specifically compatible with certain crawler models. The manufacturer has confirmed compatibility with GMade rock crawlers, Traxxas TRX-4 series, Axial SCX10 II, and FTX Kanyon models. Before purchasing, verify that your specific crawler model is listed in the compatibility section to ensure proper fit and mounting.
- What makes the aluminium construction important? — Aluminium construction provides several advantages over plastic alternatives. It offers superior durability for outdoor use, maintains consistent weight properties that support proper scale proportions, resists UV fading better than painted plastic, and provides an authentic metallic finish that enhances the realism of your scale build. The alloy material also reduces the risk of cracking or breaking during typical crawler operations.
- Can I paint the gas bottle a different colour? — Whilst the gas bottle comes pre-painted in vibrant blue, experienced RC modellers can repaint it if desired. However, the factory paint finish is applied to high standards and should provide excellent durability and colour fastness under normal use. If you prefer a different colour, red and potentially other colour variants may be available from the Fastrax range.
- What is the installation process? — The Fastrax Scale Painted Alloy Gas Bottle is designed to mount directly onto compatible crawler bodywork. Installation typically involves securing the component using the existing mounting points on your crawler's body or frame. Specific mounting instructions may be included with the product or available from the manufacturer. If you are uncertain about installation, contact RC Model Shop for guidance specific to your crawler model.
- How durable is this accessory for regular use? — The aluminium alloy construction is designed for durability in regular crawler use. The paint finish is factory-applied to withstand outdoor conditions, UV exposure, and typical handling. Like all RC accessories, the component may show minor signs of wear over extended periods, but the quality of materials ensures it will maintain its appearance and integrity throughout years of use.
- Is this a mandatory accessory for my crawler? — No, the scale gas bottle is an optional accessory designed to enhance the visual realism and scale accuracy of your crawler. It is not required for the mechanical operation of your RC vehicle. However, serious scale builders and those pursuing competition or exhibition-level crawlers will find this component essential for achieving authentic expedition and rescue vehicle aesthetics.
