Overview
The Traxxas Servo Saver Post with Adjuster Nut and Locknut (TRX9545A) is an essential upgrade and replacement component for Traxxas Sledge owners looking to enhance their 1/8 scale RC monster truck's steering performance. Whether you're a dedicated RC basher, a weekend racer, or someone new to the exciting world of RC vehicles in the UK, this precision-engineered servo saver post delivers the reliability and adjustability that serious RC enthusiasts demand. This component is specifically designed to work seamlessly with the Sledge Belted 1:8 4WD Brushless Electric Monster Truck platform, giving you the ability to fine-tune your steering response and protect your servo from impact damage during aggressive driving sessions.
Constructed from premium 6061-T6 aluminium and finished with a dark titanium anodised coating, this servo saver post combines lightweight durability with a striking visual appearance that will complement any RC car UK collection. The anodised finish provides excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring your investment remains protected whether you're bashing in wet British weather or enjoying dry track sessions at your local RC club. The inclusion of both an adjuster nut and a locknut means you can dial in your exact steering feel and then lock it in place for consistent performance lap after lap.
For anyone running a Traxxas Sledge 6S, this is a direct replacement part that maintains OEM quality whilst offering the dark titanium anodised aesthetic that will instantly refresh your truck's appearance. RC enthusiasts across the UK rely on Traxxas genuine parts to maintain the precision and durability their high-performance machines demand, and this servo saver post is no exception.
Key Features
- Premium 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — This aerospace-grade aluminium alloy delivers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, meaning your servo saver post will withstand the rigorous demands of RC bashing, racing and competitive driving without adding unnecessary weight to your Sledge's steering system.
- Dark Titanium Anodised Finish — The dark titanium anodised coating provides superior corrosion resistance and UV protection, keeping your servo saver post looking fresh and performing reliably whether you're driving in damp UK weather or storing your truck between sessions. This finish also gives your Sledge a bold, professional appearance that stands out at the track.
- Precision Adjuster Nut — The included adjuster nut allows you to fine-tune your steering servo saver tension with precision, giving you the ability to customise your steering feel to match your driving style and track conditions. Tighter adjustment means more responsive steering, while looser adjustment provides smoother, more forgiving handling.
- Integrated Locknut — Once you've dialled in your perfect steering feel using the adjuster nut, the locknut secures your setting in place, preventing any accidental drift or loosening during intense driving sessions. This ensures consistent, predictable steering response every time you hit the track or bash spot.
- Direct Compatibility with Traxxas Sledge 6S — This servo saver post is engineered specifically for the Traxxas Sledge Belted 1:8 4WD Brushless Electric Monster Truck in all colour options (blue, orange, green and red), ensuring perfect fit and optimal performance integration with your truck's steering geometry.
- Genuine Traxxas OEM Component — As an official Traxxas part, this servo saver post is manufactured to the same exacting standards as your Sledge, guaranteeing compatibility, durability and long-term reliability that you simply cannot get with cheap aftermarket alternatives.
Technical Performance
The servo saver post is a critical steering component that connects your radio-controlled servo to your Sledge's steering linkage, and the quality of this connection directly impacts your truck's handling precision and servo longevity. The 6061-T6 aluminium material has been selected for its exceptional strength and rigidity whilst maintaining minimal weight — this is the same aluminium used in aircraft construction, demonstrating Traxxas's commitment to engineering excellence. The dark titanium anodised finish is applied through a controlled electrochemical process that creates a protective oxide layer, substantially improving corrosion resistance compared to standard anodising and providing enhanced durability in the wet, muddy conditions that UK RC enthusiasts frequently encounter. The dual-nut design (adjuster nut plus locknut) represents professional engineering thinking — the adjuster nut allows you to set your preferred servo saver tension, controlling how much steering deflection occurs before the servo saver engages to protect your servo from impact damage, whilst the locknut then locks this setting permanently in place, preventing any micro-adjustments during driving that could compromise consistency. This level of adjustability and security is essential whether you're bashing casually, participating in organised RC club races, or competing in UK-wide RC racing championships. The precision engineering of this component means it will integrate seamlessly with your Sledge's existing steering geometry, requiring no modifications or adjustments to fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this servo saver post fit my Traxxas Sledge? — Yes, the TRX9545A is specifically designed as a direct replacement and upgrade component for all Traxxas Sledge Belted 1:8 4WD Brushless Electric Monster Truck models, regardless of colour (blue, orange, green or red). It integrates seamlessly with your truck's existing steering geometry without requiring any modifications.
- What does a servo saver actually do? — The servo saver post acts as a mechanical protection system for your steering servo. It allows a small amount of steering flex when your wheels hit obstacles or land from jumps, preventing the full impact from being transmitted directly to your servo gears. This protects your servo from damage and extends its lifespan, whilst the adjuster nut lets you customise how much give the system provides.
- Why should I upgrade to dark titanium anodised aluminium? — The anodised finish provides significantly better corrosion resistance than standard painted or untreated aluminium, meaning your servo saver post will resist rust and degradation far longer, particularly important if you drive in wet British weather or near coastal areas. The dark titanium colour also gives your Sledge a more premium, professional appearance compared to stock components.
- How do I adjust the servo saver tension? — Loosen the locknut slightly, then turn the adjuster nut clockwise to tighten the servo saver (making steering feel more responsive) or counter-clockwise to loosen it (making steering feel smoother and more forgiving). Once you've found your preferred setting through test driving, tighten the locknut down firmly to lock the adjustment in place permanently.
- Is this a genuine Traxxas part? — Yes, the TRX9545A is an official Traxxas OEM component manufactured to the same precision standards as your Sledge. When you buy from RC Model Shop, you're receiving an authentic part with the full backing of Traxxas's engineering and quality assurance.
- Will I need any special tools to install this? — Installation is straightforward and requires only basic RC tools. You may need a small hex key or wrench to remove your existing servo saver post and install the new one, but no specialist equipment is necessary. If you're uncertain about installation, our team at RC Model Shop are happy to help.
