Overview
The Ride Air Remover Long with Pouch Bag (RP29101) has established itself as an essential tool for RC enthusiasts and competitive drivers alike across the UK RC scene. Whether you are racing at your local club, competing at national events, or simply enjoying weekend bashing sessions, this specialist accessory has become a must-have among serious RC car builders and tuners. From entry-level RC hobbyists to World Class Drivers seeking to make critical adjustments between heats, the Air Remover has earned its reputation as an indispensable part of any RC toolkit. This upgraded Long version represents the evolution of a proven design, bringing enhanced functionality and improved portability to RC modellers who demand quick, efficient shock oil adjustments without compromising on precision or ease of use.
The Air Remover addresses one of the most common challenges faced by RC car enthusiasts: removing air bubbles from shock absorber oil. Air trapped within shock oil dramatically reduces damping performance, leading to unpredictable suspension behaviour that can compromise handling and lap times. The Ride Air Remover eliminates this problem efficiently, allowing you to prepare your shocks perfectly before every run. Whether you are tuning your off-road buggy, adjusting your touring car setup, or fine-tuning your truck suspension, this tool ensures your shocks perform at their absolute best every single time you hit the track or trail.
What sets this Long version apart is its thoughtful design specifically optimised for longer off-road and touring car shocks, combined with practical features that make it genuinely useful in real-world RC environments. The included lightweight damper stand accommodates countless types of shocks and gear differentials, whilst the handy pouch bag provides easy transportation to the track, club meetings, or competitions. RC Model Shop stocks this essential accessory to help UK RC drivers maintain their equipment to championship standards.
