Key Features
- Twin Antenna Design — The dual antenna configuration provides comprehensive LED lighting coverage across your RC model, ensuring visibility from multiple directions and angles. This redundancy also means that if one antenna is affected, the other continues to provide illumination to your vehicle.
- 18cm Light Length — The 18-centimetre light length strikes an ideal balance between visibility and proportional aesthetics on most RC car scales. This extended length ensures the LEDs cast sufficient light without appearing oversized or disproportionate to your model's body.
- Vibrant Green Colour — The distinctive green LED colour makes your RC car highly visible during low-light conditions, evening runs, and indoor carpet racing. The green wavelength is particularly effective for human eye perception, especially in twilight and artificial lighting conditions common to UK RC venues.
- Quality Fastrax Manufacturing — Fastrax is a well-established and respected name in the RC accessory market, known for producing reliable lighting kits and sets that withstand the demands of regular RC model use. Their engineering expertise ensures these antennas are built to last.
- Easy Integration — These LED twin antennas are designed to integrate seamlessly with standard RC car bodies and chassis, requiring no complex modifications to your existing ready to run RC setup.
Technical Performance
The Fastrax LED Twin Antenna represents the pinnacle of practical accessory design for RC enthusiasts. With an 18cm light length specification, these antennas provide optimal visibility coverage without compromising your RC car's aerodynamics or handling characteristics. The twin antenna configuration delivers superior illumination compared to single-antenna alternatives, making these lighting kits and sets particularly valuable for competitive racing environments where visibility is crucial. The green LED colour has been scientifically proven to be one of the most visible colours to the human eye, particularly in mixed lighting conditions ranging from daylight to artificial indoor track lighting. The antennas are constructed using quality materials that can withstand the vibrations, impacts, and environmental stresses typical of RC car operation, whether you're running a high-speed track machine or an off-road basher. For UK RC enthusiasts using these antennas on their favourite models, the robust construction ensures reliable performance across multiple seasons of use.

The antennas integrate seamlessly with typical RC model mounting systems, making installation straightforward whether you're upgrading a ready to run RC car or a custom-built model.
- Why should I choose the twin antenna configuration over single antenna lighting? — The twin antenna design provides comprehensive 360-degree visibility coverage of your RC model, ensuring your car remains visible from virtually any viewing angle. This is particularly advantageous during competitive racing, evening club meetings, or when you're running multiple models on the same track simultaneously.

- What makes the green LED colour the best choice for RC car lighting? — Green LEDs are highly visible to the human eye across a wide range of lighting conditions, from bright daylight to dim evening sessions and indoor carpet racing under artificial lights. The green wavelength penetrates atmospheric haze and reflects effectively off typical track surfaces, making your RC car easier to track visually during high-speed runs or competitive racing events.
- How durable are these Fastrax antennas? — Fastrax is renowned for manufacturing robust RC accessories built to withstand regular use. These twin antennas are constructed using quality materials that can handle the vibrations, impacts, weather exposure, and operational stresses inherent to RC model operation, whether you're a casual basher or serious competitor.
