Overview

The Team Associated Foam Pit Mat (SP002) is an essential accessory for any RC enthusiast in the UK who wants to protect their valuable models during maintenance, repairs, and pit work. This medium-sized foam pit mat measures 600 x 400mm and is just 2mm thick, making it the perfect surface for your RC car pit or bench area. Whether you're a serious competitor, a weekend basher, or new to the world of RC cars, having a dedicated pit mat is crucial for keeping your RC vehicles and components clean, organised, and safe from damage whilst you work on them.

Pit mats are an often-overlooked but genuinely important piece of RC hobby equipment. They provide a soft, protective surface that prevents your expensive RC models from getting scratched, dented, or damaged when you're working on them in your pit area or workshop. The Team Associated foam pit mat is specifically designed to give your models the care they deserve, whilst also helping you keep your workspace tidy and organised. This is exactly the kind of practical accessory that separates casual RC enthusiasts from serious hobbyists who want to maintain their investment properly.

The SP002 pit mat from Team Associated and CML is manufactured to professional standards and is recognised by RC enthusiasts across the UK as a reliable, durable choice for pit mat needs. At just 11.39 GBP (with an RRP of 11.99 GBP), it represents excellent value for money and is an affordable way to add professional-grade protection to your RC pit setup.

Technical Performance

The Team Associated Foam Pit Mat SP002 is engineered with careful attention to the practical needs of RC hobbyists. The 2mm foam construction provides sufficient cushioning to protect delicate RC car bodies, expensive carbon fibre chassis components, and precision electronic parts from impact damage during handling and maintenance work. The 600 x 400mm surface area gives you adequate space to work comfortably on 1/10 scale RC cars, 1/8 scale buggies and trucks, and most standard RC vehicles without cramping your workspace. The foam material is durable enough to withstand years of regular use in busy pit environments whilst remaining lightweight and portable. The compact dimensions and minimal thickness mean this pit mat is equally at home as a permanent fixture in your home workshop or as a portable accessory you can bring to RC racing events, outdoor bashing sessions, or when visiting other RC enthusiasts. The foam doesn't degrade quickly under normal use and maintains its protective qualities through numerous folding and unfolding cycles, making it a genuine long-term investment in protecting your RC models.
