Overview

The FTX Tracer Servo Saver Assembly (FTX9720) is an essential replacement part for owners of FTX Tracer 1/16 scale RC monster trucks and truggies. This servo saver assembly is a critical chassis component that protects your steering servo from damage caused by impact and extreme steering inputs during aggressive off-road driving. Whether you're bashing around the garden, tackling local trails, or competing in RC racing events across the UK, a functioning servo saver is vital to keep your ready to run RC truck performing at its best and to prevent costly servo replacements.

Designed specifically for the FTX Tracer range of 1/16 scale vehicles, this genuine OEM part ensures perfect compatibility and performance with your RC monster truck or truggy.

Technical Performance

The FTX Tracer Servo Saver Assembly is engineered as a chassis spare component that forms a critical part of the steering and suspension system on FTX Tracer 1/16 scale monster trucks and truggies. This component is manufactured to precise tolerances using durable materials capable of withstanding the rigorous demands of off-road RC driving, whether you're running brushless electric power or standard setups.

Without proper servo protection, your steering servo can become damaged or broken, resulting in expensive repair or replacement costs. The servo saver assembly absorbs and redistributes mechanical shock forces, significantly extending servo lifespan and keeping your ready to run RC truck operating reliably during aggressive off-road driving.
• How often should I replace my servo saver assembly? — The frequency of replacement depends on how heavily you use your RC vehicle. Regular bashing and aggressive driving will cause more wear on the servo saver assembly. If you notice reduced steering response, grinding sounds, or visible damage to the component, it's time to replace it. Having spare servo saver assemblies available means you can keep your vehicle on the track or trail without extended downtime.
• Is this part difficult to install? — The FTX Tracer Servo Saver Assembly is designed as an OEM replacement part that integrates directly into the existing chassis without requiring modifications.
