Key Features
- Digital Servo Technology — This servo utilises digital control circuitry rather than traditional analogue systems, providing faster response times, smoother operation, and more accurate positioning of the steering mechanism, which is crucial for precision control during rock crawling and technical RC driving.
- Lightweight 9-Gram Design — The compact 9-gram weight specification ensures minimal impact on your FTX Tracker's overall weight distribution and centre of gravity, helping maintain optimal handling characteristics and climbing ability on uneven terrain.
- FTX Tracker Specific Compatibility — This servo is engineered to fit perfectly within the FTX Tracker's steering system, including compatibility with the Metal Servo Horn (25T) and steering linkage components, ensuring a direct replacement installation without modification.
- Genuine FTX Component — As an official FTX spare part (model number FTX10316), this servo maintains the manufacturer's quality standards and performance specifications, ensuring reliability and longevity in demanding off-road conditions.
- Precise Steering Control — Digital servo technology enables smooth, proportional steering inputs that translate directly from your RC transmitter to the wheels, essential for navigating tight turns, obstacles, and technical crawling sections with confidence.
- Durable Construction — Built to withstand the demands of RC car operation, including vibration, impacts, and the environmental factors encountered during outdoor RC driving and crawling activities.
Technical Performance
The FTX Tracker 9G Servo delivers professional-grade steering control engineered specifically for the FTX Tracker scale crawler platform. As a digital servo, this component offers superior performance characteristics compared to standard analogue servos, including faster signal processing, improved torque linearity, and reduced centre deadband for more responsive steering. The 9-gram weight specification ensures the servo maintains the vehicle's carefully balanced weight distribution, crucial for maintaining traction and climbing ability over obstacles. Digital servo technology provides consistent performance across varying temperature conditions and battery voltage ranges, meaning your steering response remains stable whether you're driving in cool UK winters or warmer conditions. The servo integrates seamlessly with FTX Tracker steering components including servo horns, linkages, and the overall steering geometry, ensuring that your replacement servo functions identically to the original component. This makes it an ideal maintenance replacement for when servo performance degrades, as well as a popular choice for builders upgrading existing Tracker builds to improve overall vehicle control. The construction quality reflects FTX's commitment to providing reliable components that stand up to regular RC car use, whether that involves casual weekend bashing or more serious off-road driving and technical crawling activities.
What's in the Box

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a digital servo and how does it differ from an analogue servo? — Digital servos use microprocessor-controlled circuitry to process steering commands much faster than traditional analogue servos. This results in faster response times, smoother operation, reduced lag between your transmitter input and the wheels turning, and more stable positioning. For RC crawling and precise off-road driving, digital servos provide noticeably improved control feel and responsiveness compared to analogue alternatives.
- Is the FTX Tracker 9G Servo suitable for beginners? — Yes, this servo is an excellent choice for beginner RC car enthusiasts. As a genuine FTX replacement part, it works directly with the FTX Tracker without any modification required. If you're building your first FTX Tracker or replacing a faulty servo, this component requires only basic installation knowledge. The servo horn (sold separately) simply attaches to the servo spline, and the servo mounting is straightforward using standard fasteners included with your Tracker chassis.
- What battery voltage does this servo require? — The FTX Tracker 9G Servo operates on standard RC servo voltage, typically 4.8V to 6V, which matches the supply voltage from most 2-cell LiPo batteries commonly used in RC cars and crawlers. Verify your FTX Tracker's electrical system specifications to confirm voltage compatibility with your specific radio receiver and battery setup.
- Can I use this servo as a replacement in my existing FTX Tracker? — Absolutely. This is a genuine OEM (original equipment manufacturer) FTX part designed as a direct replacement for the steering servo in FTX Tracker builds. Installation involves removing your old servo and installing the new one in the same location using existing mounting holes. You may need to reuse your existing servo horn or purchase the FTX Tracker Metal Servo Horn (25T) separately if upgrading or replacing a damaged horn.
- What is the weight and will it affect my RC car's performance? — The servo weighs 9 grams, which is relatively lightweight and helps maintain proper weight distribution in your FTX Tracker. This compact weight has minimal impact on your vehicle's centre of gravity, helping preserve climbing ability and traction characteristics over obstacles and technical terrain.
- Where can I buy genuine FTX Tracker 9G Servos in the UK? — RC Model Shop is an authorised FTX retailer stocking genuine FTX spare parts and components. We maintain stock of the Tracker 9G Servo (FTX10316) along with complementary FTX Tracker parts including servo horns, steering linkages, and additional hop-up components to help you build and maintain your FTX Tracker to the highest standards.
