• Reversible Tip Design — The reaming tip reverses and can be screwed into the handle for convenient storage, meaning you can keep this essential tool safely protected when not in use and prevent the tip from becoming damaged or bent in your toolbox or workbench.
• Maximum 8mm Hole Sizing — Designed to handle hole sizes up to a maximum of 8mm, making this tool perfectly suited for RC body panel preparation, servo arm drilling, and general RC chassis modification work across all popular scales and model types.

Technical Performance

The Fastrax Anodised Body Reamer FAST98 is engineered with precision and practicality at its core. The anodised aluminium handle provides both strength and a lightweight feel, making it comfortable to use during extended RC building sessions. The reversible tip mechanism is a thoughtful design feature that extends the life of the tool by offering two working edges and protecting the reaming surface when stored. With a maximum hole capacity of 8mm, this tool covers the vast majority of RC body panel preparation tasks, from battery compartment modifications on touring cars to servo mounting holes on rock crawlers and trail trucks. The anodising process hardens the aluminium surface, creating a tool that resists wear, corrosion, and the general knocks and bumps that come with workshop use. Whether you're working on micro-scale RC models or full-size 1/8 scale buggies and truggies, this reamer delivers consistent, professional results. The precision engineering ensures clean reaming without material tear-out, which is essential when working with composite body panels that demand careful handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a body reamer and why do I need one for my RC model? — A body reamer is a precision tool used to enlarge, clean up, or refine holes in RC body panels, chassis plates, and structural components. It ensures holes are the correct diameter and have clean edges, which is essential for proper body fitment, accurate servo mounting, and professional-looking builds across all types of RC cars, trucks, and crawlers.
• What maximum hole size can the Fastrax Anodised Body Reamer handle? — This reamer is designed to work with hole sizes up to a maximum of 8mm, which covers the vast majority of RC body panel work, servo arm drilling, and chassis modification tasks you'll encounter when building or maintaining RC models.
• How do I store the reversible tip safely? — The tip reverses and screws into the handle for storage, protecting the reaming edges from damage and keeping your toolbox organised. This clever design feature means you're not at risk of accidentally damaging the tip when reaching into a crowded tool drawer.
• Is this tool suitable for beginners working on ready to run RC cars? — Absolutely. Whether you're building a ready to run RC model, upgrading a brushless RC buggy, or maintaining a precision RC crawler, this tool is straightforward to use and produces professional results even with minimal experience. The ergonomic anodised aluminium handle provides excellent control.
• What materials can the Fastrax Body Reamer work with? — This tool is suitable for use on composite body panels, plastic chassis components, and other materials commonly found on RC models. The precision design ensures clean, burr-free results without material tear-out, which is especially important when working with delicate composite bodies on high-end RC cars.
• Why choose anodised aluminium over other handle materials? — Anodising creates a hard, corrosion-resistant surface that's far more durable than bare aluminium. This means your reamer will maintain its quality through countless projects and years of regular use in your RC workshop, resisting oxidation and wear far better than untreated materials.
