Technical Performance
The FTX Carnage NT Upper Front Steering Plate is a precision-engineered chassis component manufactured to exacting tolerances by FTX, a recognised leader in affordable, high-quality RC vehicles and spares. The steering plate forms part of the front axle assembly of the 1/10th scale, 4WD Carnage NT nitro truck, a model celebrated for its rugged construction and performance credentials. As a chassis spare, this component is critical to maintaining the structural integrity and geometric accuracy of your truck's steering system. The material composition and manufacturing process ensure the plate can withstand repeated stress cycles, impacts from rough terrain, and the vibrations inherent to nitro-powered RC driving. When installed correctly as part of the complete steering assembly—which may include items such as the servo and upper plate mounts (FTX6401), servo saver (FTX6408), and throttle linkage set (FTX6411)—the steering plate contributes to smooth, responsive handling and precise directional control. Regular inspection and replacement of worn steering components helps maintain your RC truck's performance and prevents secondary damage to connected parts such as servos and linkages.
