Technical Performance
The Fastrax LED Antenna 18cm Light Length represents a carefully engineered accessory that combines practical lighting functionality with robust construction suitable for demanding RC applications. At 18cm in total length, this antenna provides an ideal balance between visibility and proportion across the RC vehicle category spectrum, from smaller-scale crawlers measuring around 1/10 scale through to larger truggy and monster truck platforms. The integrated LED technology delivers consistent, bright illumination that operates reliably during extended RC play sessions, whether you're participating in organised RC racing events, casual weekend bashing, or evening RC car club meetings.
