Key Features

• Officially Licensed Safari Snorkel Design — This snorkel carries the official licensing of the Safari Snorkel company, ensuring you're adding an authentic, recognised product to your RC model rather than a generic imitation, which matters significantly to scale purists and collectors in the UK RC community.
• Precision ABS Plastic Injection Moulding — The snorkel is manufactured using high-quality ABS plastic injection moulding techniques, which delivers fine detail, consistency and durability that withstands the rigours of off-road RC driving and maintains its appearance over extended use.
• Durable Rubber Components — Black durable rubber elements are integrated into the design to provide flexibility, vibration dampening, and realistic texture that matches the appearance of full-size Safari Snorkels whilst ensuring the accessory resists cracking and damage during typical RC operation.
• Steel Material Construction — Various steel material components are used throughout the snorkel assembly, providing structural integrity, corrosion resistance, and the strength needed to support the snorkel's weight and maintain proper positioning on your RC body without sagging or misalignment.
• Scale Air Intake Function — Designed to route clean air intake on your scale rig, this snorkel mimics the functional purpose of full-size snorkels, delivering a huge volume of the cleanest air possible into your RC4WD Mojave II body, which adds realistic detail that goes beyond mere aesthetics.
• Compact 128.1mm Total Length — At just 128.1 millimetres (5.06 inches) in total length, the snorkel achieves impressive scale realism without overwhelming your RC body, maintaining proper proportions that look authentic when installed on 1/10 scale crawlers and trucks.
• Lightweight at Only 14.5 Grams — Weighing just 14.5 grams (0.51 ounces), this accessory adds virtually no weight to your RC vehicle, ensuring it won't affect your rig's performance, weight distribution, or driving characteristics, which is particularly important for precision crawlers and competitive off-road machines.
• Includes Double-Sided Adhesive for Installation — The snorkel comes with double-sided adhesive designed specifically for the snorkel base, making installation straightforward and ensuring a secure, permanent bond to your Mojave II body without requiring drilling or additional modification.
• Safari Snorkel Decal Sheet Included — An official Safari Snorkel decal sheet is provided with your purchase, allowing you to complete the authentic look with branded graphics that perfectly complement the physical snorkel and enhance the scale appearance of your RC4WD platform.
• Compatible with Multiple Trail Finder 2 Configurations — Whether you're running a standard wheelbase or long-wheelbase (LWB) version, two-door or four-door Mojave II body, this snorkel is engineered to fit seamlessly across the entire Trail Finder 2 range, maximising compatibility across RC4WD's popular crawler platform.

Technical Performance

The RC4WD Safari Snorkel Z-S1826 is engineered with meticulous attention to scale accuracy and real-world functionality. The snorkel body is manufactured using precision ABS plastic injection moulding, a manufacturing process that ensures consistent wall thickness, fine detail reproduction, and excellent durability compared to lower-quality manufacturing methods often seen in budget RC accessories. The construction combines this primary ABS plastic component with durable black rubber elements that provide both functional and aesthetic benefits—the rubber offers vibration dampening properties whilst contributing to the authentic appearance of a real Safari Snorkel. Steel material components throughout the assembly provide structural support and corrosion resistance, ensuring the snorkel maintains its integrity through wet conditions, muddy terrain, and extended storage. At 128.1 millimetres in total length and weighing only 14.5 grams, the snorkel achieves impressive scale detail without compromising the performance characteristics of your RC vehicle. The lightweight design means there is negligible impact on your crawler's weight distribution, handling characteristics, or acceleration profile. The double-sided adhesive mounting system provides a secure, permanent attachment to your Mojave II body without requiring invasive modifications such as drilling holes or using epoxy that might damage your body work. This approach is ideal for UK RC enthusiasts who want to maintain the integrity of their scale bodies or those who might wish to remove the snorkel later without leaving permanent marks. The snorkel's design is specifically engineered to route clean air intake effectively, a detail that separates this officially licensed product from generic alternatives—the internal geometry has been designed with real Safari Snorkel engineering principles in mind, even though this is a scale model application.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the RC4WD Safari Snorkel officially licensed? — Yes, absolutely. The Safari Snorkel is officially licensed by the Safari Snorkel company, which means you're purchasing an authentic accessory with genuine branding and design approval. This differs from generic snorkel parts available from less reputable suppliers, ensuring you're adding a recognised, quality component to your RC build that serious enthusiasts in the UK RC community respect and value.
• Will this snorkel fit my RC4WD Mojave II body? — The Z-S1826 is specifically engineered for Mojave II bodies in both two-door and four-door configurations, and works across all Trail Finder 2 variants including standard and long-wheelbase models. The fitment is precise, and the snorkel comes with purpose-designed double-sided adhesive for secure installation. If you have a different RC4WD body or platform, this particular snorkel is not compatible, so it's important to verify your exact setup before ordering.
• How much does the snorkel weigh and will it affect my RC crawler's performance? — At just 14.5 grams, the weight is negligible—less than half an ounce. This means you won't see any meaningful impact on your crawler's weight distribution, acceleration, handling characteristics, or battery runtime. The snorkel's lightweight design ensures it purely adds aesthetic and scale detail without the performance compromises sometimes seen with heavier body upgrades.
• Is installation difficult? — Installation is straightforward thanks to the included double-sided adhesive specifically formulated for the snorkel base. There's no drilling, cutting, or epoxy required—simply clean the mounting surface on your Mojave II body, apply the adhesive, and securely attach the snorkel. The permanent installation can be reversed if needed without damaging your body, making this an ideal upgrade for scale crawlers you want to modify aesthetically.
• What makes this snorkel different from cheaper alternatives? — The RC4WD Z-S1826 is officially licensed by Safari Snorkel, uses precision ABS plastic injection moulding with durable rubber and steel components, and is engineered with authentic functional design principles. Budget alternatives often use lower-quality plastics, generic designs, and lack official licensing. If you're serious about scale realism and quality, this snorkel represents the standard that UK RC enthusiasts expect from authentic RC4WD products.
• Are the included decals easy to apply? — Yes, the Safari Snorkel decal sheet is included and designed to complement the physical snorkel perfectly. Application is straightforward—simply position the decals on the snorkel body according to any included instructions. The decals complete the authentic look and are an essential part of achieving full scale realism on your RC crawler.
• Can I use this snorkel on other RC4WD models or bodies? — No, this snorkel is specifically engineered for Mojave II bodies only. RC4WD manufactures dedicated snorkels and accessories for other body styles, so attempting to fit this to incompatible bodies may result in poor fitment and aesthetics. If you have a different RC4WD body, we recommend contacting our team at RC Model Shop for guidance on compatible accessories for your specific platform.
