RCP Rail Liner/Protector Installation Details, Pictures and Purchasing Info

Below are the steps for installing the rail protectors/liners. You can install the rail liners at any point on your track. Installing them on the inside turns will protect the foam rails from any damaged caused by RC car impacts. The liners will also help your car bank or slide off the turns and will not cause your car to stop abruptly and bounce back into traffic when impacting the rails. The rail liners are made from a very soft plastic, so they will not break or shatter from car impacts.

Each rail liner kit comes with a quantity of 6 pieces measuring 43 inches long. You can purchase rail liner kits at links below. They run $17.99 per kit ( 6 rail liners in each kit) from the Tinyrc/mini-zracer shop. They are in stock and ready to ship now.

Each kit of 6 rail liners are packaged like shown.



Remove the strap holding the bundle and fold the two perforated sections in a 90 degree fashion. I find it easy to bend each side a little then put it on the floor upside down and step on it running your foot up the length of the rail. This will bend the sides more than 90 degree’s than you can simple push them back to the ideal angle.





For installing on inside turns, cut with scissors a 10 inch to 11 inch section out of one side and the bottom of the liner as shown below. When installing on 90 degree turns, you will cut a smaller length out of the rail. You only need to cut away the material that meets up with the bend or turn part of the rail.



Slide one rail inside the liner and then the second rail as shown below.



Flip the rails over and mark a hole or slot on the liner where the PINS install. I like to cut a slot, so it gives you room to move or adjust the rail when you install them.



You can install the liner tight to the foam corner rails or leave a gap if you want a little spring or give to the liner at the center of the turn as shown below.







The liners can be installed on the straight rails by following the directions above, but without cutting the section of rail liner out. Flip the rails upside down to mark PIN locations to cut holes or slots.







The rail liners are designed with two perforated sides so that the liner will not come off from RC car impacts. The back side locks the liner into the rail for a secure attachment.
