Technical Performance

The Fastrax Small Metal Luggage Tray is engineered from quality metal materials that provide both visual authenticity and genuine durability suitable for regular use in RC environments. The small size (10cm W x 11cm L) is specifically engineered to maintain proper scale proportions on 1/10 scale RC vehicles and smaller models, ensuring that the tray looks natural and well-proportioned rather than oversized or out of place. Unlike plastic roof racks or improvised solutions, the metal construction of this tray ensures it maintains its shape and appearance through repeated use, weathering, and the occasional impacts that are inevitable in RC hobby use. The solid metal build quality means this is a genuine investment piece for scale builders who want their RC rigs to look authentic and professional. The tray is designed to accommodate mounting with Fastrax's complementary aluminium fog light sets, which feature wired LED lights secured within machined aluminium housings with clear lens covers that magnify the light output for perfect low-light visibility. This integration capability demonstrates the thoughtful engineering behind the Fastrax scale accessory range, where components work together to create a cohesive, authentic appearance.
