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. Fastrax has engineered this product specifically for wheel-style transmitters, ensuring it fits perfectly around your radio regardless of whether you're using a twin stick setup or a dedicated wheel transmitter. Now you can run for the full 5-minute race duration without your fingers dropping off, keeping your concentration sharp and your lap times consistent.

Designed with the UK climate in mind—where rain, wind and cold are constants during the racing season—this muff lets you focus entirely on your driving technique rather than battling uncomfortable conditions. If you're a regular at your local RC track, a weekend basher, or someone who enjoys RC racing throughout autumn and winter, this is an accessory that will quickly become indispensable. The combination of premium materials, thoughtful engineering and genuine Fastrax quality makes it an investment that will last for years of reliable use.
