Overview
The Team Associated AS6255 Servo Saver Plastic is an essential replacement component for RC10 platform enthusiasts across the UK. This precision-engineered plastic servo saver is designed to protect your steering servo from damage caused by impacts and collisions, a common concern when running RC cars both on the track and during weekend bashing sessions. Whether you're maintaining a beloved RC10 Classic, upgrading an RC10T, or restoring a 40th Anniversary edition, this OEM part is the perfect solution for keeping your RC car UK-ready and performing at its best.
