RC Materials: Metals, Wood & Plastics

Build, repair and customise with our Materials range under Hardware, featuring quality metals, woods and plastics for every modelling job. Choose from K+S Metals brass, copper and aluminium tube, rod, sheet and angle; tough piano wire and carbon fibre rods/strips; lightweight balsa and birch plywood; and easy‑to‑work styrene and ABS sheets. Ideal for scratch builds, reinforcements, linkages, brackets, boat fittings and airframe repairs across RC cars, planes, helis and boats.

Handy filters help you pick the right diameter, thickness and length in metric or imperial. Not sure which material suits the task? Brass and copper solder easily, aluminium keeps weight down, carbon fibre adds stiffness, while styrene bonds well with plastic cements.

We keep large stocks for fast dispatch, with UK next‑day delivery options available, and we carry trusted brands including J Perkins, K+S JP, K+S Metals, Ripmax and Billing Boats. If you need advice, our knowledgeable, friendly team are on hand to help you choose the best material for your project.
