Technical Performance
The TRX9739-ORNG servo mount represents a significant upgrade in steering system rigidity and performance. Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium, this material is chosen specifically by aerospace and automotive engineers for its exceptional combination of strength, machinability, and corrosion resistance. The aluminium construction provides a substantial weight advantage over steel alternatives whilst maintaining structural integrity under the demanding loads experienced during acceleration, braking, and high-speed cornering in RC cars and trucks. The orange anodised finish is applied through a electrochemical process that creates a protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface, significantly improving durability and resistance to corrosion from moisture, salt spray, and chemical exposure commonly encountered in outdoor RC racing and bashing. This finishing process also provides excellent wear resistance, which is particularly important in servo mounts that experience continuous movement and adjustment during operation. The rigid mounting platform eliminates the microscopic flex that occurs in plastic mounts, ensuring zero lost motion between your servo output and your steering linkage, resulting in immediate, predictable steering response that is essential for competitive racing at speed or precise control during technical rock crawling. The engineering approach demonstrates why serious RC enthusiasts upgrade to aluminium servo mounts as one of their first performance enhancements.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the TRX9739-ORNG servo mount designed for? — The Traxxas TRX9739-ORNG is an upgrade servo mount designed to provide a rigid, flex-free platform for your vehicle's steering servo. It eliminates steering response delays caused by component flex, ensuring your steering inputs are transmitted instantly and accurately to your front wheels. This upgrade is particularly valuable if you're running a TRX-4M or other compatible Traxxas models and want to improve steering precision and control.
- Will this servo mount improve my RC car's steering? — Yes, significantly. By eliminating flex in the servo mounting system, you'll experience noticeably more responsive and predictable steering. This is because the rigid aluminium platform ensures zero lost motion between your servo output and your steering linkage, meaning every steering input is transmitted directly to your wheels without delay or compliance. This improvement is especially noticeable in competitive racing situations and technical crawling where precision steering is critical.
- Is this servo mount suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. Whilst this is a performance upgrade typically appreciated by experienced RC enthusiasts, the installation is straightforward and requires no special tools or advanced mechanical knowledge. Any RC hobbyist, regardless of skill level, can install this mount in minutes. Beginners will benefit from the improved steering precision, making it easier to control their vehicles more accurately on the track or trail.
- Why is 6061-T6 aluminium the best choice for servo mounts? — 6061-T6 is an aerospace-grade aluminium alloy selected by engineers for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and machinability. It provides the rigidity necessary to eliminate steering flex whilst remaining lightweight enough not to negatively impact your vehicle's weight distribution and handling. The T6 heat treatment specifically enhances the material's strength and hardness, making it ideal for performance-critical applications like servo mounting.
- What vehicles is this compatible with? — The TRX9739-ORNG is designed as an upgrade component for Traxxas vehicles. Check your specific vehicle's manual or compatibility guide to confirm compatibility before purchasing. It's designed as a direct upgrade for standard plastic servo mounts on compatible Traxxas models.
- How does the orange anodised finish benefit the product? — The anodised coating serves multiple purposes: it protects the underlying aluminium from corrosion and oxidation, provides excellent resistance to mud, water, salt spray and UV exposure, enhances durability, and delivers a vibrant aesthetic that looks outstanding on any RC vehicle. The anodising process creates a hard oxide layer on the aluminium surface that resists wear and maintains its appearance through repeated use.
