Technical Performance
The Fastrax Scale Rubber Net is engineered specifically for scale RC applications where authenticity and durability matter. The rubber material has been selected to withstand the demands of regular RC use, including exposure to outdoor conditions, UV light, and physical handling. Unlike cheaper plastic alternatives that can become brittle and crack within weeks, this genuine rubber construction maintains its flexibility and appearance over extended periods. The 22cm x 14.5cm dimensions make it suitable for 1/10 scale crawlers and similar-sized vehicles, providing realistic proportions that enhance the overall scale aesthetic without looking oversized or out of place. The net's construction allows it to be mounted in multiple configurations—whether stretched across a cargo rack on a scale buggy, fitted into a truck bed, or positioned as a protective element on a rock crawler. The flexibility of the rubber means it can conform to curved or irregular surfaces, adapting to your specific RC model's design. This accessory is particularly popular among serious scale builders who compete in events like King of the Hammers style competitions or display crawlers at RC exhibitions, where attention to authentic detail separates champion builds from standard hobby models.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What size RC models is this rubber net suitable for? — The Fastrax Scale Rubber Net measuring 22cm x 14.5cm is perfectly proportioned for 1/10 scale crawlers and smaller-scale RC vehicles. It's particularly popular with 1/10 scale crawlers, short course trucks, and off-road buggies where cargo authenticity matters. Always measure your specific vehicle before ordering to ensure proper fit, as scale proportions can vary slightly between manufacturers and models.
- Is this rubber net durable for outdoor use? — Yes, the rubber construction is specifically chosen for outdoor RC use. Unlike plastic alternatives that become brittle and crack with UV exposure, this genuine rubber material remains flexible and durable through seasons of outdoor running. It will withstand mud, water, dirt, and the general wear and tear of regular RC operation without degrading. The black colour also resists fading better than lighter alternatives.
- Can I use this net on different RC vehicles? — Absolutely. The flexible rubber net is universally compatible and can be fitted to any RC crawler, buggy, or trail truck regardless of brand or drive system. Many builders use these nets on Axial crawlers, Team Losi platforms, and TRX-4 scale trucks. Some builders even stretch them across different configurations—from traditional cargo nets to protective mesh arrangements on scale rock crawlers.
- How do I install the rubber net on my RC model? — Installation depends on your specific vehicle and desired mounting location. The flexible rubber can be glued using RC-safe adhesives, cable-tied to your frame or cargo rack, or even friction-fitted in certain configurations. Most builders recommend using small zip ties or RC body clips for secure but removable mounting, allowing you to swap nets or adjust positioning as needed.
- What makes this better than cheaper plastic nets? — The key difference is material quality and longevity. This Fastrax rubber net maintains its flexibility and appearance over years of use, whereas plastic alternatives become brittle, crack, and discolour within months of outdoor exposure. The rubber also looks more realistic and authentic, which matters when you're building a serious scale model or competing in detail-judged events.
- Is this suitable for competition crawlers? — Yes, scale detail like this rubber net is highly valued in competitive scale events. If you're building a crawler for events that judge scale accuracy and authentic detailing, this net helps you compete on the detail front. It's the kind of accessory that shows judges you've invested serious effort into your build quality.
