Overview
The FTX ROKATAN SERVO SAVER STEERING ASSEMBLY FTX10120 is an essential replacement component for RC enthusiasts who demand reliability and precision from their RC car UK setups. This servo saver steering assembly is specifically engineered to protect your servo from damage caused by impacts and collisions, a critical consideration for anyone serious about maintaining their RC vehicle in top condition. Whether you're piloting an FTX Apache, Crossbow, RamRaider, or Rokatan model, this spare part ensures your steering system remains responsive and durable through countless hours of off-road adventures.
Servo savers are fundamental components in modern RC car design, acting as a crucial shock-absorption system between your servo and the steering linkage. When your RC vehicle hits an obstacle or experiences sudden steering forces, the servo saver absorbs the impact energy that would otherwise be transmitted directly to your servo mechanism, potentially causing internal damage or loss of steering control. This FTX component is manufactured to the same exacting standards as the original equipment, ensuring perfect compatibility and performance across the entire range of compatible FTX models.
For RC car enthusiasts in the UK looking to maintain their vehicles at peak performance, this servo saver steering assembly represents excellent value at just £4.99. Whether you're a weekend basher, a competitive racer, or someone who simply enjoys the hobby of radio-controlled vehicles, having spare steering components on hand is a wise investment that can keep your RC car ready to run when you need it most.

Technical Performance
The FTX ROKATAN SERVO SAVER STEERING ASSEMBLY represents precision engineering in miniature form. This component is integral to the chassis system of FTX's range of RC vehicles, providing critical steering control whilst protecting expensive servo motors from impact damage. The servo saver mechanism works by allowing controlled flex and movement in the steering linkage, dissipating energy from collisions rather than transmitting it directly to the servo's internal gears and bearings. This technology is essential for serious RC car enthusiasts in the UK who demand longevity and reliability from their equipment. The assembly is constructed from materials selected for their durability and performance characteristics, ensuring consistent operation whether you're driving through rocky terrain, sand, mud, or across urban streets. FTX has engineered this component to work seamlessly with its range of 1/10 scale vehicles, including the Apache 2.0 Trophy Truck in both blue and red variants, the Crossbow Truggy in blue and green, and both brushed and brushless editions of the RamRaider Monster Truck. The mechanical design ensures that steering response remains sharp and predictable whilst still maintaining that critical protective function that separates amateur setups from professional-grade RC vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a servo saver and why do I need one on my RC car? — A servo saver is a mechanical component that absorbs impact forces from collisions and rough driving conditions, protecting your servo motor from damage. When your RC vehicle hits an obstacle, the servo saver flexes slightly to dissipate the energy rather than transmitting full force to the servo's internal gears, which can strip teeth or cause permanent damage. For anyone serious about maintaining their RC car UK setup, a functioning servo saver is absolutely essential.
- Which FTX models is this steering assembly compatible with? — This FTX10120 servo saver steering assembly is compatible with the FTX Apache 2.0 1/10 Brushless Trophy Truck RTR in both blue and red, the FTX Crossbow 1/10 Brushless Truggy Truck RTR in blue and green, and the FTX RamRaider 1/10 Monster Truck RTR in both brushed and brushless versions, across various colour options including orange, blue, green and red variants.
- Is this a genuine FTX part or an aftermarket copy? — This is an authentic FTX original equipment component manufactured to the same specifications as the parts fitted to new FTX vehicles. You can verify authenticity through the official FTX product code FTX10120 and the EAN barcode 5056135750155, ensuring you're purchasing genuine, high-quality parts.
- How difficult is it to install this servo saver steering assembly? — Installation is relatively straightforward for anyone with basic RC maintenance experience. As a direct replacement component, it requires only removing the old assembly and fitting the new one into the same mounting points. Most RC enthusiasts can complete this task in under 30 minutes with standard hand tools.
- How often should I replace my servo saver steering assembly? — The frequency depends on your driving style and conditions. If you're bashing hard through rocky terrain or crashing frequently, you may need replacement more often. Inspect it regularly for cracks, excessive flex, or damage, and replace it as soon as you notice any degradation in performance or visible wear.
- Can I use this assembly on other RC brands besides FTX? — This assembly is specifically engineered for FTX models and uses FTX's proprietary mounting points and dimensions. For compatibility with other brands, you should consult the manufacturer's specifications for your particular vehicle.
