Technical Performance
The Fastrax Extra Long Antenna/Flag Pole 310mm represents a thoughtfully engineered accessory that combines practical functionality with scale authenticity. At 310 millimetres in overall length, this antenna pole extends well above your 1/10 scale crawler, providing genuine improvement in RC radio signal reception whilst simultaneously offering superior vehicle visibility during outdoor driving sessions. The engineering focuses on durability and compatibility, with precise dimensions that ensure perfect fitment on supported FTX Kanyon models including the FTX5563 Kanyon 4x4 RTR 1:10 XL Trail Crawler and the FTX5563R Kanyon 4x4 Mountain Rescue 2-Speed RTR variant. The black powder-coated or anodised finish provides excellent corrosion resistance, essential for vehicles that regularly encounter wet terrain, muddy obstacles and outdoor elements typical of UK trail crawling locations. The pole's structural design balances lightweight construction with rigidity, preventing excessive flexing during high-speed manoeuvres or rough terrain contact whilst maintaining the vehicle's handling characteristics. This accessory exemplifies Fastrax's commitment to quality scale RC components, offering the type of attention to detail and manufacturing precision that experienced RC enthusiasts expect from a brand that understands the demands of competitive and recreational crawler operation.

It is confirmed compatible with the FTX5563 Kanyon 4x4 RTR 1:10 XL Trail Crawler and the FTX5563R Kanyon 4x4 Mountain Rescue 2-Speed RTR. Before purchasing for other crawler brands or models, please verify compatibility with your specific vehicle to ensure proper fitment.
- Why would I want an extra-long antenna pole for my RC crawler? — An extra-long antenna pole serves two important purposes for RC crawlers. Firstly, the extended 310mm length significantly improves visibility of your vehicle during outdoor driving, making it far easier to track your model across challenging terrain, through vegetation, or at distance. Secondly, the increased antenna height can improve RC radio signal reception, particularly in areas with obstacles or when driving at extended range. Additionally, it adds authentic scale detail to your crawler, making it look more like a real off-road vehicle.
- What colour is this antenna pole? — This Fastrax antenna pole is finished in jet black, providing a professional, realistic appearance that complements most modern RC crawler colour schemes and bodyshell designs. The black finish is also practical, helping the antenna blend naturally with the surrounding landscape during outdoor use.
- Can I use this as a flag pole? — Yes, this accessory is designed as a dual-purpose component functioning as both an antenna and a flag pole. You can attach small flags, markers, or other decorative accessories to personalise your vehicle, perfect for team identification during RC events or adding extra visual appeal to your scale crawler.
- How does this antenna pole affect my vehicle's performance? — The antenna pole is a lightweight accessory that should have minimal impact on your crawler's overall weight distribution or handling characteristics. The extended length provides improved radio signal reception, potentially enhancing control responsiveness and range during outdoor driving sessions, particularly at distance or in areas with radio interference.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Yes, this antenna pole is suitable for RC enthusiasts of all experience levels. Installation is straightforward on compatible FTX models, requiring no special tools or technical knowledge. It simply enhances visibility and adds scale detail to your existing crawler without affecting fundamental vehicle operation or requiring any modifications to critical components.
