With global distribution now reaching new markets and an ever-expanding collector community rallying behind the brand, Fun Tech Lab is not just making productsβ€”it’s building a movement. Let’s dive into the technology, purpose, and collector impact behind Windsible, Runsible, and Parkable, and explore why Fun Tech Lab is leading the charge into a new era of hobby tech.


The Rise of Scale Testing in the Hobby Industry

To understand the meteoric rise of Fun Tech Lab, we need to first appreciate the broader evolution of the diecast and hobby world. Over the last two decades, there’s been a noticeable shift in consumer expectationsβ€”from passive ownership to active engagement. Collectors today want more than just to possess rare piecesβ€”they want to interact with them, customise them, test them, and showcase them in innovative ways.

From Shelf Queens to Science Labs

Static displays still have their place, but more and more hobbyists are yearning for realism. They want to simulate the roar of engines, the rush of wind, and the precise handling characteristics of their favorite carsβ€”even if it’s in 1:64 scale. This is where scale science comes in.

Wind tunnels and dynos have always played a key role in full-size motorsport development. Bringing this same technology into the scale model world offers collectors an entirely new dimension. Now, they can:

  • Measure drag

  • Test airflow patterns

  • Simulate road performance

  • Log data on a digital interface

  • Display cars in dynamic, motion-centric environments

This trend has transformed the collector space into a tech-infused hobby. With social media platforms amplifying this innovation, the popularity of performance testing has skyrocketedβ€”creating the perfect opportunity for Fun Tech Lab to shine.


Windsible Wind Tunnels – Unleashing Aerodynamics at Scale

If there's one product that put Fun Tech Lab on the global map, it's the Windsible Desktop Wind Tunnel. Designed with unmatched engineering precision, the Windsible lets collectors test their diecast models in real-time wind simulations, offering a realistic experience never before possible in the hobby industry.

What is Windsible?

The Windsible is a fully functional miniature wind tunnel, built specifically for scale model cars. Available in 1:64, 1:24, and 1:18 versions, it mimics the aerodynamics testing used in professional automotive design.

At its core, Windsible uses high-speed fans and digital sensors to simulate wind conditions, allowing users to observe how air moves across the surface of their models. It reveals aerodynamic pressure zones, lift characteristics, and airflow pathsβ€”just like in real-world F1 wind tunnels.

Key Features:

  • Adjustable Wind Speed Settings
    Fine-tune wind intensity to match different testing scenariosβ€”from urban cruising to high-speed racing.

  • Transparent Side Panels
    Watch in real time as airflow patterns are visualised around your car.

  • Digital Display Panel
    Readout of wind speed, turbulence levels, and simulated drag coefficients.

  • Modular Scale Adaptation
    Designed for seamless switching between 1:64, 1:24, and 1:18 scales with precision-fit trays.

  • Silent Operation
    Despite high fan RPMs, Windsible runs quietly thanks to integrated noise-dampening tech.

Real Use Cases in the Collector Community

Collectors and hobbyists have embraced Windsible as more than just a display pieceβ€”it’s a functional testing lab. Here’s how they’re using it:

  • Tuning Custom Models
    Builders test their custom spoilers, diffusers, and canards to see how airflow is altered post-modification.

  • Realistic Dioramas
    Diorama creators position the Windsible alongside workshop scenes, giving their displays a dynamic, tech-infused look.

Runsible Dynos – Performance Testing for Scale Models

Where Windsible revolutionises aerodynamics, Runsible brings the world of power, torque, and drivetrain simulation into the hobbyist’s hands. As Fun Tech Lab’s second major innovation, the Runsible dyno is the perfect companion to Windsibleβ€”and the ideal tool for those who take tuning seriously.

What is Runsible?

The Runsible is a miniature desktop dynamometer (dyno) built for 1:64 and 1:24 scale models. It simulates real-world power output by spinning the car’s wheels against rolling drums, measuring resistance, acceleration, and traction patterns.

Although diecast models don’t have real engines, the Runsible cleverly mimics data by tracking wheel motion through high-sensitivity magnetic sensors. It's an ideal companion for collectors who want dynamic realism, especially in combination with motorised or modified cars.

Runsible Key Functions:

  • Real-Time RPM Measurement
    Tracks simulated RPMs based on wheel movement and resistance levels.
