Overview
The Fastrax Aluminium Square Magnetic Maintenance Tray 98x98mm in Black is an essential accessory for any serious RC enthusiast working on their RC car UK setups. Whether you're a competition racer fine-tuning a ready to run RC model or a weekend basher maintaining your pride and joy, this compact maintenance tray keeps all your small parts, fasteners, and components organised and within easy reach. Made from premium anodised aluminium, this tray combines durability with functionality, offering the perfect solution for pit-side work, home workshops, or anywhere you need to keep track of those tiny screws, bearings, and other critical components that are all too easy to lose.
The magnetic surface is the real game-changer here. When you're working on your RC vehicle, the last thing you want is to spend precious time searching for a lost screw or watching a critical bearing roll across the workshop floor. The integrated magnetic surface keeps ferrous metal parts secure and visible, so you can focus on the job at hand rather than hunting for missing components. This is particularly invaluable when you're working on brushless RC cars, electric RC buggies, or any RC model where precision assembly matters. The compact 98x98mm square format fits perfectly beside your workbench, in your pit bag, or in a toolbox, making it ideal for both stationary workshop use and mobile pit support at RC racing events across the UK.
Finished in sleek black anodised aluminium, this maintenance tray is built to last. The anodised coating provides excellent corrosion resistance and protects against wear and tear from regular use. If you're serious about maintaining your RC collection and want to work more efficiently, the Fastrax Aluminium Square Magnetic Maintenance Tray is a small investment that delivers genuine value and professional-grade organisation to your RC hobby.
Key Features
- Integrated Magnetic Surface — The magnetic design instantly captures and secures all ferrous metal components, preventing screws, ball bearings, and small metal fasteners from rolling away or getting lost during maintenance work on your RC car.
- Premium Anodised Aluminium Construction — Built from high-quality anodised aluminium, this tray offers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and a professional finish that will withstand years of regular workshop use without degradation.
- Compact Square Format — The 98x98mm square dimensions make this tray incredibly portable and space-efficient, fitting easily into pit bags, toolboxes, or on crowded workbenches without taking up excessive room.
- Professional Workshop Tool — Designed for serious RC hobbyists who demand organisation and efficiency, this tray is equally at home in a dedicated RC workshop, a mobile pit setup at racing events, or stored in your RC accessories collection for quick access when needed.
- Parts Organisation Solution — Keep all your small components, fasteners, and hardware separated and organised during assembly, maintenance, or modification work, reducing confusion and speeding up the building process.
- Universal Compatibility — Works with any RC vehicle type, from brushless RC monsters and electric RC buggies to competition-grade RC touring cars, crawlers, and everything in between.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax Aluminium Square Magnetic Maintenance Tray represents intelligent engineering applied to workshop organisation. The anodised aluminium construction provides a robust working surface that resists corrosion and maintains its appearance through thousands of hours of use. The magnetic properties are strong enough to securely hold all standard ferrous fasteners — M2 and M3 screws, ball bearings, washers, and other small metal components — without requiring any additional securing mechanism. The black anodised finish not only looks professional but also helps reduce glare under workshop lighting, making it easier to see small parts clearly. The flat square base sits stable on any work surface, and the compact dimensions mean it can be positioned at an ergonomic angle for easy access to components. This tray is suitable for use in any environment where RC maintenance takes place, from climate-controlled indoor workshops to outdoor pit areas at UK RC racing venues.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the magnetic surface hold all types of fasteners? — The magnetic surface is designed for ferrous metal components, including steel screws, ball bearings, washers, and metal fasteners commonly used in RC car construction and maintenance. Non-ferrous metals like aluminium, brass, or plastic components will not be held by the magnet, but the flat surface provides a secure workspace for all materials.
- Is this tray suitable for RC car racing and competition use? — Yes, absolutely. The compact portable design makes it ideal for pit support at RC racing events across the UK. Many competition builders and pit crews use magnetic trays to keep spare parts organised and prevent losing critical components during time-sensitive repair work at the track.
- Can I use this tray for other hobbies besides RC cars? — Definitely. The Fastrax Aluminium Square Magnetic Maintenance Tray is useful for any hobby or profession that involves working with small metal components, including model engineering, watch repair, electronics assembly, jewellery making, and general mechanical work.
- How durable is the anodised aluminium finish? — Anodised aluminium is extremely durable and corrosion-resistant. The finish will withstand years of daily workshop use without peeling, flaking, or degrading. The black colour helps hide any minor marks that may occur during use.
- What size is the working surface? — The tray measures 98x98mm, providing a compact but functional working area that's large enough for holding multiple components during a typical maintenance session, yet small enough to be truly portable and space-efficient.
- Is this the same as the blue version? — Fastrax offers this same magnetic maintenance tray in multiple colours including blue. The specifications, functionality, and build quality are identical across all colour variants — this is simply the black version.
