Overview
The FTX Mauler Aluminium Servo Mounts (2) FTX8835 are premium upgrade components designed specifically for the FTX Mauler 2.0 4x4 Rock Crawler RTR. These aluminium servo mounts provide a significant performance and durability upgrade over standard plastic alternatives, making them an essential choice for RC enthusiasts looking to enhance their rock crawling machine. Whether you're a seasoned RC car UK competitor or a dedicated weekend basher, upgrading to aluminium servo mounts is a proven way to improve your crawler's reliability and longevity during intense off-road adventures.
As a tune-up option within the FTX Mauler range, these servo mounts represent FTX's commitment to offering modular, upgradeable components that allow you to customise and improve your ready to run RC crawler over time. Rock crawling is one of the most demanding disciplines in the RC hobby, requiring vehicles to navigate extreme terrain, steep inclines, and challenging obstacles. Your servo mounts must withstand these rigorous conditions whilst keeping your steering servo securely mounted and perfectly aligned. The FTX Mauler Aluminium Servo Mounts deliver the strength, precision engineering and long-term durability that serious RC rock crawlers demand.
This pack includes two aluminium servo mounts, providing everything you need to upgrade both front and rear servo installations on your FTX Mauler 2.0. By choosing aluminium construction over plastic, you're investing in a component that will resist damage from impacts, vibration and the relentless punishment that rock crawling terrain delivers. These mounts are engineered to maintain perfect servo alignment under load, ensuring your steering response remains crisp and accurate throughout extended crawling sessions.
Key Features
- Aluminium Construction — These servo mounts are manufactured from high-quality aluminium alloy, which provides superior strength and durability compared to standard plastic mounts, allowing them to withstand the extreme forces and impacts encountered during challenging rock crawling terrain without cracking or deforming.
- Pack of Two — The product includes two complete servo mounts in each pack, giving you the ability to upgrade both front and rear servo installations on your FTX Mauler 2.0 4x4 Rock Crawler, ensuring consistency and balanced performance across your entire vehicle's steering system.
- FTX Mauler 2.0 Compatibility — These mounts are specifically engineered and tested to fit perfectly on both the FTX5575R2 (Red) and FTX5575Y2 (Yellow) variants of the FTX Mauler 2.0 4x4 Rock Crawler RTR, ensuring precise fitment and proper alignment with your existing chassis and steering components.
- Rock Crawling Performance — Designed for the demanding world of RC rock crawling where vehicles encounter extreme terrain, steep inclines and relentless obstacles, these aluminium mounts maintain perfect servo alignment under the intense steering forces generated during technical crawling manoeuvres.
- Upgrade Component — As a certified FTX tune-up option, these servo mounts represent a manufacturer-approved upgrade that works seamlessly with your existing FTX Mauler 2.0 system, allowing you to progressively enhance your vehicle's performance and durability.
Technical Performance
The FTX Mauler Aluminium Servo Mounts represent a significant engineering upgrade in terms of material science and structural integrity. Aluminium alloy offers approximately three times the strength-to-weight ratio of standard engineering plastics, meaning these mounts can withstand far greater impacts and vibrations whilst adding minimal weight to your RC crawler. Rock crawling generates enormous lateral steering forces as your vehicle navigates over rocks, roots, and extreme terrain at challenging angles. Standard plastic mounts can flex or deform under these loads, causing your steering servo to shift position and resulting in imprecise steering response. Aluminium mounts maintain rigid alignment under all conditions, ensuring your servo remains perfectly positioned to deliver consistent, accurate steering inputs throughout your crawling session. The engineering precision of aluminium allows for tighter tolerances and better fit with your steering servo, eliminating play and slop that can develop in plastic mounts over time. These mounts are manufactured to professional specifications that exceed the demands of recreational rock crawling, making them suitable for both casual weekend crawlers and competitive RC rock crawling enthusiasts. The superior thermal properties of aluminium also help dissipate heat generated by servo operation during prolonged use, potentially extending servo lifespan. British RC enthusiasts who demand the highest levels of vehicle reliability and performance will recognise the significant value proposition of these component upgrades.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these aluminium servo mounts compatible with my FTX Mauler 2.0 rock crawler? — Yes, these FTX8835 servo mounts are specifically designed for the FTX Mauler 2.0 4x4 Rock Crawler RTR in both the red (FTX5575R2) and yellow (FTX5575Y2) variants. They are an official FTX tune-up option that fits perfectly with your existing chassis and steering system, requiring no modification or additional parts.
- What is the advantage of aluminium servo mounts over plastic ones? — Aluminium servo mounts offer significantly superior strength, rigidity and durability compared to plastic alternatives. Aluminium resists impacts and deformation much better than plastic, maintains precise servo alignment under extreme steering forces, and provides longer-term reliability during intensive rock crawling sessions where your vehicle encounters rocky terrain, obstacles and extreme angles that generate enormous lateral loads on steering components.
- Will upgrading to these servo mounts improve my crawler's performance? — Yes, upgrading to aluminium servo mounts will enhance your crawler's steering precision and consistency. By maintaining rigid servo alignment and eliminating flex in your mounting points, you'll experience crisper steering response, more predictable handling characteristics, and improved control during technical rock crawling manoeuvres, particularly when navigating steep inclines and challenging terrain.
- How many servo mounts do I need? — This pack includes two aluminium servo mounts, which provides enough components to upgrade both front and rear servo installations on your FTX Mauler 2.0 4x4 Rock Crawler. If you wish to upgrade only one location or if you plan to own multiple Mauler vehicles, you may want to order additional packs accordingly.
- Are these genuine FTX components? — Absolutely. These FTX8835 aluminium servo mounts are official FTX genuine parts, manufactured to the same exacting standards as your FTX Mauler 2.0 rock crawler. When you purchase from RC Model Shop, you're guaranteed authentic manufacturer components with full compatibility assurance.
- Will these servo mounts increase the weight of my vehicle significantly? — Whilst aluminium is slightly denser than plastic, the weight increase from upgrading servo mounts is minimal and is far outweighed by the performance and durability benefits. The improved rigidity and alignment provided by aluminium mounts actually enhances your vehicle's handling characteristics and driving precision, making any minor weight addition worthwhile for serious rock crawling.
