Fastrax Switch R/Y 3pcs Full Automatic Truer Wheel Truing System FAST2000-3

Overview

The Fastrax Switch R/Y 3pcs For Full Automatic Truer is an essential accessory for RC enthusiasts who demand precision and consistency in their wheel setup. Whether you're running a competitive RC buggy, RC truck, or any other RC vehicle UK-wide, maintaining true and perfectly balanced wheels is critical for optimal performance on track. This pack of three switches is specifically designed to work with the Full Automatic Truer system, allowing you to achieve professional-grade wheel truing without the guesswork or manual adjustments that can lead to inconsistent results.

If you're serious about your RC car performance—whether you're a weekend basher enjoying RC fun or a competitor preparing for the next big race—wheel truth is non-negotiable. Even the smallest imbalance in wheel geometry can affect handling, speed consistency, and tyre wear patterns. The Fastrax Switch R/Y components ensure that your wheel truing process is quick, repeatable, and accurate every single time you prepare your vehicle for the track or the bash course. These switches are the trusted choice for RC modellers across the UK who understand that attention to detail at the setup stage translates directly to better performance when it matters.

Manufactured by Fastrax, a recognised name in quality RC spare parts and accessories, this product represents excellent value for money at just £5.99. It's the kind of unassuming but genuinely useful item that separates the serious RC enthusiast from the casual player, and it's exactly why having the right toolkit—including precision truing equipment—makes such a difference to your RC experience.

Technical Performance

Wheel truing is a fundamental aspect of RC vehicle setup that directly impacts handling characteristics, acceleration, braking, and overall speed consistency. The Fastrax Switch R/Y components are precision-engineered parts designed to work within the Full Automatic Truer system, which uses mechanical action to detect and measure wheel runout—the deviation from perfect roundness and truth in your wheel. By incorporating these switches into your truing process, you ensure that your wheels meet exact standards for both radial runout (wobble side-to-side) and lateral runout (movement in and out). This level of precision is particularly important in competitive RC environments where thousandths of a millimetre can affect performance, but it's equally valuable for any RC enthusiast who wants their vehicle to perform at its absolute best. The switches themselves are manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring reliability and consistency across multiple truing operations. Whether you're running 1/10 scale vehicles, larger RC trucks, or any configuration in between, maintaining true wheels is universal best practice that applies across all types of RC cars UK enthusiasts might own.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the Fastrax Switch R/Y used for? — These switches are critical components of the Fastrax Full Automatic Truer system, a precision instrument used to measure and verify that RC wheels are perfectly round and balanced. They allow the automatic truer to detect wheel runout accurately, ensuring your RC car wheels meet exact performance standards before you head to the track or out for a bashing session.
• Why would I need three switches? — Having three switches gives you flexibility in your RC hobby. You might need replacements if switches wear out from regular use, you might want to keep spares in your pit box to avoid downtime during competition, or you might run multiple vehicles and prefer to have dedicated truing equipment for each setup rather than constantly swapping components between different RC cars.
• Is this suitable for all types of RC vehicles? — Yes, the Fastrax Switch R/Y components are designed as universal pit equipment for any RC vehicle that uses the Full Automatic Truer system. Whether you're running RC buggies, RC trucks, RC short course vehicles, or any other configuration, properly trued wheels are essential, and these switches work across the board.
• How often should I replace these switches? — With proper care, these switches should last through many hours of RC use. However, like any mechanical component that sees regular use, they may eventually require replacement if they become worn or damaged. That's why having extra switches on hand is practical—you won't be caught without critical pit equipment when you need it most.
• Do I need the Full Automatic Truer to use these switches? — Yes, these switches are specifically designed to work as part of the Fastrax Full Automatic Truer system. They are not standalone tools but rather essential components that enable the truer to function properly. If you don't already own the Full Automatic Truer, you would need to purchase that system separately to use these switches effectively.
