Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these body pin holders compatible with my RC car? — These medium-sized holders are designed for 5mm body pins, which are the standard size used on most popular RC vehicles including HPI, Traxxas, Mugen, Team Associated, Team Losi, and Axial Racing models. However, as noted in verified customer feedback, you may need to drill slightly larger holes in your bodyshell if your current pins are a different size or your existing holes are too tight. Always check your specific RC model's body pin specifications before purchasing.
• What size body pins do these holders accommodate? — The Fastrax Body Pin Holder/Body Protector 4Pcs Medium Black is specifically designed for 5mm body pins, making it compatible with the vast majority of standard RC cars used in the UK hobby.
• Will these fit my HPI Evo BMW GT2? — Customer reviews indicate that whilst these medium holders may be too large for some smaller-scale models like the HPI Evo BMW GT2, they work perfectly with larger scale bodies such as the Savage X 4.6 scale body. It's worth checking your specific model's requirements before ordering.
• How do I ensure these body pin holders fit properly? — The holes in your bodyshell must accommodate the holder's diameter. If your existing holes are too small, you may need to carefully drill them out slightly larger to allow proper fitting. Always test fit before committing to permanent installation, and use the correct drill bit size to avoid splitting the plastic bodyshell.
• Can I use these for storage and transport? — Absolutely. These holders are perfect for protecting your body pins during storage in your pit box, transport to the track, or maintenance work. Keeping your pins covered prevents them from scratching or damaging your painted and decaled bodywork.
• Are these suitable for beginners? — Yes, these body pin holders are ideal for beginners and experienced racers alike. They're simple to use, require no special installation knowledge, and represent an affordable way to protect your investment in RC bodyshells. Any RC hobbyist in the UK who owns an RC car will benefit from having a set of these protectors.
• Why would I need four holders? — The four-pack allows you to protect multiple pins from a single bodyshell, keep spare holders in your pit box, or protect pins across your entire RC car collection. Having extras means you'll always have spares available when you need them during maintenance or at the track.
