Spoiler alert: Best pit mats ever.
Using an old towel as a “pit mat” has been standard procedure since the early days of RC, and the concept has evolved into dedicated designs and fancier fabrics and materials since the first RC’ers raided the linen closet. But if you want to truly go premium with your pit mat, you’ve got to check out what CowRC is up to. In addition to covering your pit space with a thick, durable sheet that will protect surfaces you don’t want to goof up (like the kitchen table) and will turn janky surfaces (like the weather-beaten plywood tables at the track) into a pleasant work area, CowRC’s pit mats have a hidden superpower: They’re magnetic. Go ahead and toss a handful of screws, nuts, and clips onto the mat, and watch as they stop in their tracks, thanks to the power of magnetism. You may never crawl under your bench again!
