Overview
The FTX Supaforza Aluminium Servo Saver Mount is a premium upgrade component designed for RC enthusiasts looking to enhance their FTX Supaforza 1/10 scale RC cars. This precision-engineered servo saver mount is manufactured from high-quality aluminium, offering superior durability and performance compared to standard plastic alternatives. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying casual off-road driving or a competitive RC racer pushing your vehicle to its limits, this servo saver mount provides the protection and reliability your servo demands during intense driving sessions.
Servo savers are essential components in any serious RC car setup, particularly for vehicles used in off-road racing or aggressive bashing. The servo saver mount works by absorbing and dissipating impact forces that would otherwise be transmitted directly to your servo, which can cause damage or premature wear. This FTX component is specifically engineered to fit the Supaforza chassis perfectly, ensuring seamless integration with your existing setup without requiring modifications or adjustments to other parts of your RC car.
For UK RC car enthusiasts seeking ready-to-go upgrade parts that maintain factory compatibility, this aluminium servo saver mount represents excellent value and genuine FTX quality. It's the kind of hop-up upgrade that experienced RC hobbyists recognise as essential for protecting their investment in quality servos, making it an ideal addition to any Supaforza owner's parts collection.
Key Features
- Aluminium Construction — This servo saver mount is machined from premium aluminium alloy rather than plastic, providing significantly greater strength, rigidity and durability that withstands the impacts and vibrations of aggressive off-road RC driving without flex or fatigue cracking.
- Servo Protection — The integral servo saver mechanism absorbs impact forces during jumps, landings and collisions, protecting your servo from damage and extending its operational lifespan, which is particularly important when using expensive digital or waterproof servos.
- FTX Supaforza Specific Design — This mount is engineered to fit the FTX Supaforza 1/10 scale RC car chassis perfectly, ensuring drop-in installation without modifications and maintaining the precise servo geometry required for optimal steering response.
- Precision Engineering — FTX components are manufactured to tight tolerances using quality materials and production standards, guaranteeing consistent performance and reliability across every unit produced.
- Easy Installation — The mount integrates seamlessly into your existing Supaforza setup, allowing you to upgrade your servo protection without disassembling or rebuilding major chassis components.
- Performance Enhancement — By protecting your servo from damage and maintaining consistent servo geometry, this upgrade indirectly improves steering response and handling consistency, contributing to better overall RC car performance on the track or trail.
Technical Performance
The FTX Supaforza Aluminium Servo Saver Mount represents a significant upgrade over standard plastic servo mounts found on many RC vehicles. Constructed from high-grade aluminium alloy, this component offers exceptional rigidity and impact resistance, ensuring that your servo remains properly positioned and protected even during the most demanding driving conditions. The servo saver mechanism integrated into this mount works by allowing controlled flexing and energy absorption, preventing sudden jerking forces from being transmitted to your servo during rough terrain driving, high-impact landings from jumps, or collision impacts. The aluminium construction ensures minimal flex under load, maintaining precise servo alignment for consistent and responsive steering. This is particularly important for 1/10 scale RC cars like the Supaforza, where steering accuracy is critical for competitive racing or technical off-road courses. The mount's engineering prioritises both protection and performance, ensuring your servo remains damage-free whilst maintaining the steering geometry necessary for predictable vehicle behaviour. Whether you're running a standard analogue servo or upgrading to a high-torque digital servo, this aluminium mount provides the structural support needed to keep your steering system reliable throughout extended driving sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a servo saver mount and why do I need one on my RC car? — A servo saver mount is a component that absorbs impact forces during driving, protecting your servo from damage caused by jumps, landings, and collisions. Without a servo saver, these impacts are transmitted directly to your servo, potentially causing stripped gears, bent horns, or internal damage. For RC enthusiasts in the UK who regularly bash or race their vehicles, a quality servo saver mount is an essential upgrade that can save you significant money on servo replacement costs.
- Will this mount fit my FTX Supaforza RC car? — Yes, this servo saver mount is specifically designed and engineered for the FTX Supaforza 1/10 scale chassis, ensuring perfect fit and compatibility without requiring any modifications to your vehicle.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Whilst anyone can install this upgrade, it's most beneficial for drivers who regularly bash their RC cars or participate in competitive racing where impact forces are significant. Beginner casual drivers may not see the same level of benefit, but it's never a bad investment in protecting your servo.
- What type of servo does this mount work with? — This servo saver mount is compatible with standard 1/10 scale RC servos, including both analogue and digital servos, as well as waterproof servo models commonly used in off-road racing.
- How does aluminium compare to plastic servo mounts? — Aluminium offers superior strength, rigidity and impact resistance compared to plastic. Plastic mounts can flex and flex under load, potentially affecting steering geometry, whereas aluminium maintains precise alignment. Additionally, aluminium is more durable and resistant to cracking or breaking during heavy use, making it the preferred choice for serious RC racers and bashers.
- Can I install this myself? — Yes, the servo saver mount integrates seamlessly into your Supaforza chassis. If you're comfortable performing basic RC car maintenance and upgrades, installation should be straightforward, though consulting the FTX instruction documentation is always recommended.
