Technical Performance
The Fastrax Medium Antenna/Flag Pole 184mm is engineered with quality materials and construction befitting a manufacturer with years of experience in the RC crawler accessory market. At 184mm in length, the pole provides excellent visual proportion for 1/10 scale vehicles without excessive wind resistance or interference with body lines and spoilers. The black finish is durable and resistant to fading from UV exposure and outdoor use, maintaining its appearance through countless hours of RC crawling and trail running. The pole's medium length makes it ideal for vehicles that already have cabins or cargo boxes, ensuring the antenna doesn't appear disproportionately large. This accessory is compatible with most 1/10 scale crawler platforms including rock crawlers, scale trail trucks, and general off-road RC vehicles. The straightforward design means there are no moving parts to maintain or electronic components to troubleshoot—simply install and enjoy the enhanced scale appearance. Whether you're running competitions, casual weekend trails, or serious scale building projects, this Fastrax antenna pole provides the authentic finishing touch that collectors and serious enthusiasts demand. The black colour pairs exceptionally well with most climbing tyres, rock crawling suspension setups, and weathered or muddy body finishes that are common in realistic scale crawler builds.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this antenna pole suitable for all 1/10 scale RC crawlers? — Yes, this 184mm pole is specifically designed for 1/10 scale RC vehicles. However, before purchasing, measure your vehicle's height and existing accessories to ensure the antenna won't interfere with your body design, cabin height, or cargo accessories. Most standard 1/10 crawlers have ample clearance for this medium-length pole.
- What size is this antenna pole compared to other Fastrax options? — This is the medium-length variant at 184mm. Fastrax manufactures antenna poles in various sizes to suit different scale crawler heights and aesthetic preferences, so if you need a shorter or taller option, alternative lengths may be available.
- How do I install this antenna pole on my RC crawler? — The specific mounting method depends on your vehicle's design and available mounting points. Most 1/10 scale crawlers feature post-hole mounts or threaded inserts suitable for antenna installation. You may need a small bolt and washer, or your vehicle may accept a push-fit mounting system. Consult your specific vehicle's manual for mounting guidance.
- Will this antenna pole affect my RC crawler's performance? — No. As a passive accessory with no electronic components, the antenna pole has no impact on acceleration, speed, handling, or battery performance. The minimal wind resistance at typical crawling speeds means there is negligible effect on run time or performance metrics.
- What is the antenna pole made from? — Fastrax utilises quality materials in their crawler accessories, typically hard plastic or nylon construction for durability and weight efficiency. The black finish resists UV fading and provides a professional appearance that complements scale-realistic builds.
- Can I paint or customise this antenna pole? — Yes, if you wish to match a specific colour scheme or custom livery, the pole can be painted using suitable RC-grade paints. Clean the surface thoroughly before painting, and apply primer to ensure good adhesion and long-lasting finish. Consider your painting method to avoid disrupting the pole's structural integrity.
- Is this compatible with my specific RC crawler brand? — This is a universal 1/10 scale accessory manufactured by Fastrax. As long as your vehicle is 1/10 scale and features suitable mounting points (post holes, threaded inserts, or similar), this antenna pole will be compatible with vehicles from Traxxas, Axial Racing, Team Losi, HPI, Tamiya, Team Associated, and other manufacturers listed in the Fastrax parts category system.
