Key Features
- Magnetic Surface — The integrated magnetic base securely holds ferrous metal parts, fasteners, and components so they won't roll away or get lost during your maintenance session, which is especially valuable when working with small bearings, set screws, and suspension components on your RC vehicles.
- Premium Anodised Aluminium Construction — Crafted from high-quality anodised aluminium, the tray offers excellent durability and resistance to corrosion, ensuring it will withstand the demands of frequent use at the track, in your workshop, and during transport without deteriorating or losing its professional appearance.
- Square 98x98mm Dimensions — The generous square footprint provides ample space to organise multiple small parts during a maintenance session, while remaining compact enough to fit easily into pit bags, toolboxes, and workshop spaces without taking up excessive room.
- Professional Blue Finish — The distinctive blue anodised finish not only provides a professional appearance that matches other Fastrax tools and equipment, but also makes the tray highly visible in a busy pit area or workshop, reducing the risk of misplacing it during events.
- Lightweight and Portable — Despite its robust construction, the aluminium tray is light enough to carry to and from the track without adding significant weight to your pit kit, making it ideal for RC racers who need to transport their complete maintenance setup.
- Versatile Application — Perfect for organising parts during setup and tuning of any RC model, from touring cars and off-road buggies to crawlers and trucks, this tray works with all scales and types of RC vehicles.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Aluminium Square Magnetic Maintenance Tray represents professional-grade engineering applied to workshop and pit-side tools. Constructed from anodised aluminium, this material choice ensures exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and durability even when exposed to the varied environments of RC racing—from dusty outdoor tracks to damp UK weather conditions. The anodising process creates a protective oxide layer that resists scratching and maintains the tray's professional appearance through countless hours of use. The integrated magnetic base is engineered to hold ferrous metal components securely without requiring additional fixtures or modifications, making it immediately useful straight from purchase. The square geometry with 98x98mm dimensions provides a balanced work surface that accommodates multiple parts simultaneously without crowding, while remaining compact enough for convenient storage and transport. The tray's construction philosophy prioritises reliability and simplicity—there are no complex mechanisms to fail or moving parts to maintain, just solid engineering that gets the job done. Whether you're working with your brushless RC car, electric buggy, or any other RC model type, this tray provides the stable, organised workspace that separates amateur setup from professional maintenance standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Fastrax magnetic maintenance tray suitable for use with all types of RC cars? — Yes, this maintenance tray is completely universal and works with any RC car type, scale, or power system. Whether you're maintaining a brushless RC touring car, an off-road buggy, an electric crawler, or any other RC vehicle, this tray will help you organise and protect small parts during setup, tuning, and maintenance. The magnetic surface is particularly useful for holding metal fasteners, bearings, and suspension components that are common to all RC models.
- What parts and components can the magnetic surface hold? — The magnetic base securely holds any ferrous metal components including set screws, suspension bolts, bearings, differential gears, spur gears, pinion gears, servo horns, and other metal fasteners commonly used in RC car assembly and maintenance. Plastic components and non-ferrous metals will not be held by the magnetic surface, so you may wish to use the tray as a container for these items as well.
- How durable is the anodised aluminium construction? — Anodised aluminium is renowned for its durability and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for workshop and pit-side use. The anodising process creates a protective oxide layer that resists scratching, corrosion, and wear. This tray will maintain its appearance and functionality through years of regular use at the track and in your workshop, even when exposed to moisture, dirt, and the demanding environment of RC racing.
- Can I use this tray to transport parts to the track? — Absolutely. The compact 98x98mm size and lightweight aluminium construction make this tray perfectly suited for transport in your pit bag or toolbox. The magnetic surface will keep components secure during transport, and the tray itself is robust enough to handle the rigours of regular movement between your home workshop and the track.
- Is there a different colour available? — Yes, Fastrax also manufactures this same tray in black, allowing you to choose the colour that best matches your pit setup, toolkit, or personal preference. Both versions offer identical functionality and durability.
- What is the advantage of having a dedicated maintenance tray? — A dedicated maintenance tray keeps your small parts organised and prevents loss of crucial components during setup and tuning sessions. By containing all your fasteners and small parts in one place, you reduce the risk of losing expensive bearings or critical screws, and you speed up your work by having everything within arm's reach. This is especially valuable at the track where time between rounds is limited and losing components can cost you a race.
