The Robitornic Pit Mat: order and protection on the workbench
When working on the setup of a slot car —changing tyres, adjusting the guide, checking braids, or simply doing a quick tune-up in the pits— the surface we work on matters more than it seems. The Robitornic Pit Mat (reference RBTR13005) is a work mat specifically designed for this environment: compact, with dimensions of 24.5 × 19.5 cm, it occupies just enough space to protect the table or pit area without being obtrusive.
Function and advantages in the workshop
A well-chosen work mat serves several functions at once:
- Protects the surface from scratches and oil or grease stains.
- Prevents small parts —screws, axles, crown gears, pinions— from rolling away and getting lost.
- Slightly cushions accidental impacts on the body or chassis.
- Visually delineates the workspace, facilitating concentration and order.
Its size of 24.5 × 19.5 cm makes it very manageable: it fits in any backpack or transport case, and is sufficient to keep the car and the most common tools within reach during a setup session or in the pits of a club race.
Ideal for…
- Club racers who need a clean and organised workspace during race day.
- Enthusiasts who prepare and maintain their slot cars at home and want to protect their desk or workshop table.
- Any hobbyist handling small parts who does not want to lose any screws among the folds of the table.
