Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FTX Tracker Aluminium Chassis Mount a direct replacement for the standard plastic mount? — Yes, this aluminium chassis mount is engineered as a direct replacement specifically for the FTX Tracker model. It maintains the same mounting points and geometry as the original component, making installation straightforward for anyone comfortable performing basic RC maintenance and upgrades. Simply remove the original mount and install this aluminium version using the existing fastening points on your chassis.
- What are the main advantages of upgrading to an aluminium chassis mount? — Aluminium offers several key advantages over standard plastic components. It provides superior strength and rigidity, reducing flex under load and maintaining more precise suspension geometry. The material also offers better impact resistance, making it ideal for aggressive off-road driving. Additionally, aluminium dissipates vibration more effectively and maintains dimensional stability over extended use, contributing to more consistent handling and longer component lifespan compared to plastic alternatives.
- Will this upgrade improve my FTX Tracker's performance? — Upgrading to this aluminium chassis mount can contribute to improved handling consistency and precision, particularly during aggressive driving or in demanding terrain. By reducing chassis flex and maintaining accurate suspension geometry, you may notice tighter, more predictable steering response and improved overall stability. The durability benefits also mean fewer repairs and downtime, allowing you to spend more time enjoying your RC vehicle.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — While the FTX Tracker Aluminium Chassis Mount is a quality component, it's best suited for RC enthusiasts who are comfortable performing vehicle maintenance and upgrades. Installation requires removing the original mount and securing the aluminium version in its place. Beginners might prefer to purchase a ready-to-run or pre-assembled vehicle, but those looking to learn about RC maintenance and customisation will find this a straightforward upgrade project.
- Why choose this over the standard plastic mount? — The standard plastic chassis mount serves adequately for basic use, but aluminium upgrades become worthwhile if you run your FTX Tracker frequently, enjoy aggressive driving, or compete in RC events. Aluminium's superior durability means less frequent replacement, better long-term reliability, and improved chassis rigidity that can enhance performance characteristics. For serious UK RC hobbyists, the investment in aluminium components typically pays dividends through reduced maintenance and more consistent vehicle behaviour.
- Where can I source genuine FTX spare parts? — RC Model Shop is an authorised FTX retailer stocking genuine FTX components, spare parts, and upgrades.
