Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a receiver mount and why do I need one? — The receiver mount is the bracket or holder that secures your RC car's receiver (the electronic component that receives radio signals from your transmitter) to the chassis. It's essential because it keeps the receiver in place, protects it from vibration and impact damage, and ensures the antenna maintains optimal positioning for clear signal reception. Without a properly mounted receiver, your crawler may experience signal loss, lag or complete loss of control.
- Is this mount compatible with my FTX Centaur? — Yes, this genuine OEM FTX Centaur Receiver Mount (FTX10412) is engineered specifically for the FTX Centaur and will fit perfectly with factory mounting points. It is not compatible with other FTX models unless they share identical chassis architecture.
- When should I replace my receiver mount? — You should replace the receiver mount if it becomes cracked, broken or loose; if it no longer securely holds your receiver in place; if you've lost the original mount; or if you're experiencing intermittent signal loss that can be traced to poor receiver positioning. Regular inspection during maintenance can help identify wear before it affects performance.
- Do I need any other parts to install this mount? — The receiver mount should integrate directly with your existing FTX Centaur chassis using factory mounting points. No additional components should be required for installation, though you'll obviously need a receiver unit (sold separately, model FTX10473) to complete the assembly.
- Is this suitable for competitive crawling? — Yes, genuine OEM components like this receiver mount are the standard choice for serious RC enthusiasts and competitors who demand reliability. Using factory-spec parts ensures your crawler performs consistently and meets any technical regulations for organised events.
- What receiver is compatible with this mount? — The FTX Centaur Receiver Mount is designed to hold the FTX Centaur Receiver (model FTX10473), which is sold as a separate spare part. The mount and receiver work together as a complete system to provide reliable radio control.
