Overview
The FMS RAFALE 64MM OIL TANK is a precision-engineered replacement component designed specifically for the FMS 64mm Rafale EDF (Electric Ducted Fan) jet aircraft. This oil tank plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal engine performance and longevity in your electric jet model. Whether you're an experienced RC aircraft enthusiast in the UK or someone stepping into the exciting world of scale jet flying, this genuine FMS component ensures your Rafale EDF operates at peak efficiency. The oil tank system is essential for proper lubrication of internal components, helping to extend the life of your expensive EDF unit and maintain consistent flight performance across multiple sessions.
As a dedicated replacement part for the 64mm Rafale platform, this oil tank is engineered to OEM specifications and fits perfectly within the airframe without modification or adaptation. FMS has earned a strong reputation among RC aircraft enthusiasts across the UK and beyond for manufacturing high-quality electric ducted fan jets that deliver authentic flight experiences. This component reflects that same commitment to quality and precision engineering. If you're looking to maintain your RC aircraft to the highest standards, or if you need a replacement oil tank due to damage or wear, this is the genuine FMS part you need.
The oil tank system is fundamental to the operation of ducted fan engines, as proper lubrication prevents metal-to-metal contact, reduces friction, and helps dissipate heat generated during flight. Without adequate oil circulation and a properly functioning tank, your EDF motor risks premature wear and potential failure mid-flight. By choosing this genuine FMS component from RC Model Shop, you're investing in the reliability and longevity of your 64mm Rafale EDF jet.

Technical Performance
The FMS RAFALE 64MM OIL TANK is engineered to withstand the demands of electric ducted fan operation, where consistent oil flow is critical to engine performance. The tank is sized appropriately for the 64mm Rafale platform, holding sufficient oil capacity to maintain lubrication throughout extended flight sessions. EDF motors operate at extremely high RPM compared to traditional brushless motors used in RC cars and ground-based RC vehicles, making reliable oil circulation systems essential. The tank is designed to integrate with the Rafale's fuel and lubrication system, working in conjunction with oil pumps and delivery systems to ensure every critical component receives adequate lubrication. Materials and construction methods reflect FMS's engineering standards, with attention to durability and reliability under the thermal and operational stresses inherent in sustained high-speed electric jet flight.

Choosing authentic OEM parts ensures perfect compatibility with your 64mm Rafale EDF and maintains the aircraft's performance characteristics as intended by the manufacturer.
- Will this oil tank fit my 64mm Rafale EDF jet? — Yes, this oil tank is specifically designed for the FMS 64mm Rafale EDF platform and integrates directly with the aircraft's lubrication system without any modification required.
