Overview

The FTX Tracer Steering Posts (FTX9727) are essential replacement chassis spare parts designed for the popular FTX Tracer range of 1/16 scale RC monster trucks and truggy vehicles. Whether you own an FTX Tracer 1/16 RTR Monster Truck in orange, blue, or red, or prefer the FTX Tracer 1/16 RTR Truggy in any of its vibrant colour options, these steering posts are the genuine OEM components you need to keep your RC car performing at its best. As a UK RC hobby enthusiast, finding authentic spare parts that match your vehicle's specifications is crucial for maintaining reliability and ensuring consistent handling characteristics during weekend bashing or competitive racing.

Steering posts are a fundamental component of any RC car's front end assembly, responsible for connecting the steering servo to the front wheels and translating steering input into precise directional control. The FTX Tracer Steering Posts are engineered to work seamlessly with the complete FTX Tracer range, including both the standard brushed motor versions and the more powerful brushless variants that deliver higher performance. Over time, steering posts can wear, crack, or break due to the demands of off-road driving, jumps, and rough terrain, making these replacement parts an invaluable addition to any RC car enthusiast's spare parts collection.

As replacement chassis spares, these parts are specifically designed to maintain the factory specifications of your FTX Tracer 1/16 scale ready to run monster truck or truggy.
