Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a steering hub carrier and why do I need to replace it? — A steering hub carrier is the component that connects your wheel and tyre to your RC car's suspension and steering system. Over time, especially with regular drift driving or aggressive cornering, these parts can wear, crack or become damaged. Replacing them ensures your steering remains responsive and your car handles predictably. Worn hub carriers can lead to unpredictable steering behaviour, loose wheels, and accelerated wear on other suspension components.
- Are these genuine FTX parts? — Yes, these are authentic OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts supplied directly from FTX, the official manufacturer. This ensures perfect compatibility with your Havok and guarantees the quality and longevity you expect from genuine components.
- Which FTX Havok models do these fit? — These steering hub carriers are compatible with the FTX Havok Drift Truck 1/14th 4WD RTR in both Yellow (FTX5597YL) and Blue (FTX5597BL) versions, as well as the FTX Havok Drift Roadster 1/14th 4WD RTR in Yellow (FTX5598YL) and Blue (FTX5598BL) variants.
- How often should I replace my steering hub carriers? — The lifespan of hub carriers depends on how frequently and intensively you use your RC car. Regular inspection is recommended after every few driving sessions. Signs of wear include cracks, visible damage, loose wheels, or steering that feels unresponsive. If you notice any of these issues, replacement is advisable to maintain optimal performance and prevent damage to surrounding components.
- Can I use these as preventative maintenance? — Absolutely. Many experienced RC hobbyists keep spare steering hub carriers on hand for quick repairs during driving sessions or events. Having a pair of replacements ready means you can get back to driving faster without waiting for delivery of replacement parts.
- Do I need any special tools to install these? — Installation typically requires basic RC tools such as hex keys or screwdrivers, depending on how your specific Havok is assembled. Detailed installation instructions can usually be found in your Havok's user manual or by contacting FTX customer support.
