Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a servo horn and why do I need to replace mine? — A servo horn is the mechanical arm that connects your RC servo to the steering linkage, translating the servo's rotation into steering input. Over time, particularly with aggressive driving or high-stress turns, plastic servo horns can crack, strip, or bend. Replacing a damaged servo horn restores proper steering function and response. The metal construction of this FTX part offers superior durability compared to plastic alternatives, making it an excellent preventative upgrade for any FTX Gladius owner.
- Is this a genuine FTX part? — Yes, this is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component from FTX, the brand that designed and engineered the Gladius. Genuine FTX parts ensure perfect fitment, optimal performance, and full compatibility with your vehicle. Purchasing from an authorised FTX retailer like RC Model Shop guarantees you're receiving an authentic product backed by FTX's quality standards.
- What is the difference between metal and plastic servo horns? — Metal servo horns offer significantly greater strength, rigidity, and longevity compared to plastic alternatives. Plastic horns can crack under stress, strip their mounting threads, or flex during hard steering inputs, all of which compromise steering precision and control. Metal horns maintain their shape and performance characteristics indefinitely, making them ideal for serious RC enthusiasts who expect maximum reliability from their equipment.
- Will this servo horn fit my FTX Gladius? — Yes, this servo horn is designed specifically for the FTX Gladius platform. FTX Gladius owners can install this part with confidence, knowing it has been engineered to integrate perfectly with the vehicle's steering system and control mechanisms.
- How do I install the servo horn on my FTX Gladius? — The servo horn connects to your servo's output shaft using the existing fastening system on your Gladius. Installation is straightforward and requires basic RC maintenance tools. If you're unfamiliar with RC servo installation, RC Model Shop's expert team can provide guidance and support to help you complete the upgrade correctly.
