Overview

The Fastrax Transmitter Muff-Wheel W/Window (FAST678) is an essential accessory for any serious RC enthusiast in the UK who wants to keep racing in all weather conditions. Whether you're competing at the track, bashing in the countryside, or running crawlers in winter weather, cold hands and rain can severely impact your driving performance and enjoyment. This expertly designed transmitter muff solves that problem, allowing you to maintain full control of your RC car, truck, buggy or crawler without your fingers getting numb from the cold or wet from persistent drizzle.
