Whether you're building a prized shelf queen or your favourite basher, this mock radiator set transforms the appearance of your RC car with genuine automotive detail that catches the eye at the track or on the bashfield.

The set includes everything you need to bolt it securely in place on your favourite 1/10 scale ride, making installation straightforward and hassle-free. The engineering excellence that RPM is renowned for means you're getting a product built to withstand the rigours of both competitive RC driving and weekend bashing sessions.
Available now at RC Model Shop, the RPM Mock Radiator and Fans are manufactured to the highest standards using engineering-grade nylon that's proven tough enough to handle whatever you throw at it. The compact, realistic design fits seamlessly into the front end of compatible 1/10 scale RC bodies, adding a layer of authenticity that transforms the overall aesthetic of your model. This is the accessory that serious RC enthusiasts choose when they want their scale model to look as impressive as it performs.

Technical Performance
The RPM Mock Radiator and Fans represent a masterclass in scale-focused engineering. Manufactured from engineering-grade nylon, the same material used in critical structural components throughout RPM's product range, this mock radiator assembly offers exceptional durability combined with realistic aesthetics. The nylon formulation used is specifically chosen for its ability to withstand impacts, vibrations, and the stresses of both competitive RC driving and casual bashing without degradation. The radiator and fan assembly are designed to bolt securely to your 1/10 scale body, providing a permanent, reliable installation that won't shift or rattle during driving. The realistic detailing on both the radiator core and the fan blades creates authentic visual depth that photographs beautifully and impresses at close inspection. For optimal fitment and performance, the mock radiator requires a flat mounting area on your RC body measuring approximately 3½ inches by 2? inches (89mm × 54mm), with approximately ¼ inch (6.4mm) of clearance beneath the body to ensure proper alignment and clearance during normal driving. This straightforward fitment requirement means the radiator can be installed on most 1/10 scale bodies that have suitable front-end space. The engineering excellence evident in the design ensures this accessory will remain a proud feature of your RC model for years of use.
