Key Features

• Finely Detailed Blower Assembly — The RPM unit features authentic finishing touches including blower belt ridges, pulley splines, and recessed butterflies in the scoop, creating a scale-accurate representation that looks like genuine supercharger equipment fitted to real performance vehicles.
• Universal Hood Compatibility — The entire unit is angled to 7 degrees, which matches the typical hood slope found on most RC scale bodies, ensuring the blower sits properly and accurately on a wide variety of applications without requiring body modifications.
• Tool-Free Assembly Design — The complete blower assembly bolts together using just 3 small screws, meaning you can have your new intake system installed and ready to display in minutes without specialist equipment.
• Reinforced Support Plate — A wide support plate bolts underneath your body to prevent hard impacts and crashes from ripping the blower assembly off your vehicle, providing durability and peace of mind during aggressive driving or display use.
• Complete Hardware Included — Every fastener, bracket, and component needed for installation comes in the box, eliminating the need to source separate parts and ensuring a professional finish.
• Non-Functional Design — This mock intake system is for appearance only, meaning it adds zero weight to your vehicle's performance and requires no modification to your actual drivetrain or cooling systems.

Technical Performance

The RPM BLACK MOCK INTAKE & BLOWER SET RPM73412 represents a premium approach to scale body detailing, manufactured using high-quality moulded plastic that captures fine detail while remaining lightweight. The engineering philosophy combines authentic visual design with practical installation considerations. The 7-degree angle is not arbitrary—it's based on comprehensive analysis of real RC body hood slopes, ensuring proper fitment across popular 1/10 and 1/18 scale bodies without gaps or misalignment. The blower belt ridges and pulley spines are moulded crisply enough to cast convincing shadows under track lighting, creating genuine visual depth rather than a flat appearance. The recessed butterflies in the scoop add an extra dimension of realism that demonstrates RPM's commitment to authenticity. For brushless RC vehicles and LiPo-powered models, this accessory adds visual aggression that perfectly complements the performance upgrades already installed in your vehicle. The support plate engineering addresses a common failure point in scale body customisation—vibration and impacts causing accessories to dislodge—by distributing stress across a wider mounting area underneath the body. This design philosophy ensures your investment in scale realism remains secure during competitive driving sessions or display use.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Will this mock blower fit my RC car or monster truck? — The RPM Mock Intake & Blower Set is designed to work with relatively flat hoods on 1/10 and 1/18 scale RC bodies. The 7-degree angle matches typical hood slopes, so it will fit properly on most scale muscle cars and monster trucks without gaps or misalignment. If your body has an unusual hood shape or extreme rake angle, test fit before permanent installation.
• How do I install the mock blower on my RC vehicle? — Installation requires drilling 1/8 inch (3mm) mounting holes in your body hood according to RPM's provided template, then bolting the blower assembly using 3 small screws with a 2mm hex driver. The wide support plate bolts underneath your chassis to distribute impact forces. Total installation time is typically 10-15 minutes for experienced RC enthusiasts.
• Will this accessory affect my RC car's performance or speed? — No. The mock blower is purely decorative and non-functional. It adds negligible weight and requires no modification to your drivetrain, motor, ESC, or battery system. Your brushless or nitro RC vehicle will perform identically, with the blower adding only visual impact.
• Can I use this on display vehicles as well as bashers? — Absolutely. The mock blower works beautifully on static display builds where installation screws can be replaced with double-sided tape for a seamless appearance. For vehicles that will be driven regularly, the included hardware and support plate provide secure mounting to withstand impact and vibration.
• What colour finish does the RPM Black Mock Intake come in? — This set features a black finish that provides excellent contrast on most body colours and creates authentic shadow depth around the blower details. The moulded design allows personalisation through painting if desired for custom colour schemes.
• Why is the support plate important? — The wide support plate bolted underneath your body is critical engineering. Without it, repeated impacts and vibration from driving can cause the blower assembly to work loose or dislodge entirely. The support plate distributes stress across a wider area, ensuring your scale customisation remains secure through aggressive driving sessions.
• Is this suitable for beginners in the RC hobby? — Yes, absolutely. If you can drill holes and turn a hex driver, you can install this mock blower. It requires no electrical knowledge, no soldering, no motor work—just basic hand tools and 15 minutes of your time. It's an ideal entry-level customisation project for RC enthusiasts new to body detailing.
