Overview
The Team Associated Large Foam Pit Mat is an essential accessory for any serious RC enthusiast working with RC cars, trucks and buggies in the UK. Whether you're building, tuning, maintaining or racing your RC model, this generously sized foam mat provides a clean, defined workspace that keeps your tools, fasteners and small components organised and protected. Measuring 1000 x 600mm with a 2mm foam thickness, it offers ample surface coverage whether you're working at home, at your local RC club, or trackside at a competition event. The mat's large dimensions make it ideal for laying out parts during assembly, protecting your work surface from spills and scratches, and creating a dedicated pit area where everything you need is within arm's reach.
Designed by Team Associated, one of the world's most respected RC manufacturers with decades of experience in competitive RC racing, this pit mat reflects professional standards for workshop organisation. The foam construction is durable and resistant to the wear and tear of regular use, whilst remaining soft enough to protect delicate components and your work surface. For RC hobbyists in the UK, having a quality pit mat is just as important as having the right tools—it transforms your workspace into a professional environment where precision work becomes easier and safer. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying off-road RC vehicles, a dedicated racer preparing your buggy for the next competition, or simply someone who values an organised and efficient workspace, this foam pit mat will quickly become one of your most-used accessories.
At RC Model Shop, we stock the complete range of Team Associated pit mats and accessories because we understand that RC enthusiasts need reliable workshop equipment just as much as they need quality vehicles. This large foam pit mat has become a favourite among our customers for its practicality, durability and genuine value for money. The 1000 x 600mm dimensions provide significantly more working space than smaller mats, making it perfect for complex builds and multi-vehicle maintenance sessions.
Key Features
- Large 1000 x 600mm surface area — The generous dimensions provide plenty of space for laying out RC components, tools and small parts during assembly and maintenance, ensuring you have room to work without cramping your setup or losing track of fasteners.
- 2mm foam thickness — The foam construction offers an ideal balance of protection and stability, cushioning delicate components and protecting your work surface from scratches, spills and tool marks whilst remaining firm enough to provide a solid work platform.
- Professional workshop standard — Designed by Team Associated, a manufacturer with deep roots in competitive RC racing, this mat reflects professional pit standards and is trusted by racers and hobbyists alike for keeping workspaces organised and efficient.
- Keeps tools and small parts organised — The mat's raised edges and defined surface create a natural containment area for your tools, fasteners, screws and small components, preventing them from rolling away or getting lost during your work session.
- Suitable for multiple environments — Whether you're working at home on your bench, in your garage, at your local RC club, or at a trackside event, this foam pit mat is portable enough to take with you whilst being substantial enough to provide a professional workspace wherever you set it up.
- Durable foam material — The foam resists the daily wear and tear of RC work, including impacts from tools, abrasion from components, and exposure to oils and solvents commonly used in RC maintenance, maintaining its shape and functionality over extended use.
- Easy to clean and maintain — Unlike fabric mats that absorb spills, the foam surface can be quickly wiped clean with a damp cloth, making it practical for workshops where oils, greases and cleaning fluids are regularly used.
Technical Performance
This Team Associated pit mat is engineered with performance and durability as key priorities. The 2mm foam thickness provides an optimal cushioning effect that protects both your work surface and your delicate RC components from damage. Unlike thinner mats that offer minimal protection or thicker mats that become unwieldy and difficult to transport, this 2mm specification represents the sweet spot for workshop use. The foam material is specifically chosen for its resistance to oils, greases, solvents and other substances commonly encountered in RC maintenance, ensuring the mat's integrity is maintained over months and years of regular use. The 1000 x 600mm dimensions have been carefully selected to provide workspace for modern RC vehicles without becoming so large that storage and transport becomes impractical. The mat is light enough to carry to events but substantial enough that it won't shift or slide on your workbench during concentrated building and tuning sessions. For RC enthusiasts in the UK working on everything from small 1/10 scale electric buggies to larger RC trucks and crawlers, this mat provides the professional-grade workspace organisation that serious hobbyists and competitors depend on.
