Technical Performance
The FTX Havok 3-wire Servo is engineered as a standard servo component for 1/14th scale RC drift vehicles, delivering the steering control precision necessary for high-performance drifting. Built with reliable internal gearing and control circuitry, this servo responds immediately to radio receiver input signals, translating transmitter stick movements into smooth, proportional steering adjustments. The servo's mechanical construction utilises durable plastic and metal components rated for the demands of repeated drift manoeuvres, sharp cornering transitions, and sustained driving sessions. Its three-wire electrical connection (power, ground, and signal) integrates with industry-standard RC radio receivers, requiring no special adapters or modifications. The servo operates on the voltage supplied by your RC car's battery system, making it compatible with typical LiPo battery configurations used in modern FTX drift trucks. As an OEM component sourced directly from FTX, this servo undergoes quality control testing to ensure it meets the same performance specifications as the units installed in new Havok vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FTX Havok 3-wire Servo compatible with my RC drift truck? — Yes, this servo is designed specifically for FTX Havok Drift Truck and Havok Drift Roadster models in both blue and yellow colour variants. It is the original equipment servo for these 1/14th scale vehicles.
- Can I use this servo as a replacement for a damaged unit? — Absolutely. This servo is an ideal replacement part if your original servo has become damaged, unresponsive, or requires upgrade. The three-wire design matches the standard RC car servo configuration, making installation straightforward for users with basic RC knowledge.
- What is a 3-wire servo and how does it work? — A 3-wire servo is a standard RC servo featuring three electrical connections: power (positive), ground (negative), and signal input. It receives proportional steering commands from your RC radio receiver and translates them into precise steering wheel or servo arm movements. The servo continuously adjusts its position based on transmitter stick input, allowing for smooth, controlled steering response.
- Do I need any additional equipment to install this servo? — If you are replacing an existing servo in an FTX Havok vehicle, no additional equipment is required beyond the servo itself. The three-wire connector plugs directly into your receiver. If you are building a custom setup, you will need an RC radio transmitter and receiver system, a battery pack, and an ESC (electronic speed controller) to complete your vehicle.
- What battery voltage does this servo require? — The FTX Havok 3-wire Servo operates on the voltage supplied by your RC car's battery system. Modern FTX drift trucks typically use LiPo batteries that provide stable voltage for servo operation across multiple driving sessions.
- Is the FTX Havok 3-wire Servo suitable for beginners? — Yes. This servo is a standard component designed for user-friendly installation and operation. Beginners who are familiar with basic RC car maintenance will find servo replacement or installation straightforward, especially with the included three-wire connector system.
- What is the model number for this servo? — The model number is FTX10628. You can use this number to verify compatibility with your specific Havok vehicle or to order replacement parts online.
