Overview
The FTX Stinger ESC/Servo Cover (FTX10502) is an essential protective accessory for RC enthusiasts in the UK who own an FTX Stinger 1/10 on-road street brushless RC car or the compatible FTX EVO30 1/10 brushed and brushless street models. This precision-engineered cover is designed to shield your electronic speed controller and servo components from dust, debris, moisture and damage during use and storage. Whether you're a beginner discovering ready to run RC cars for the first time or an experienced basher maintaining a collection of high-performance vehicles, protective covers like this one are fundamental to extending the lifespan of your investment and keeping your RC car running smoothly.
The FTX Stinger is recognised as one of the most popular entry-level to intermediate on-road street racing RC cars available to UK buyers today. The ESC and servo are critical components that control acceleration, braking and steering response. Protecting these sensitive electronics from the elements, loose stones, water splash and general wear is therefore crucial for maintaining reliable performance and avoiding costly repairs. The FTX Stinger ESC/Servo Cover provides a simple yet effective solution that fits seamlessly with the Stinger's design, ensuring your electronics remain protected whether you're bashing on tarmac or storing your car between sessions.
This cover represents genuine FTX OEM parts quality, meaning it's manufactured to the same standards as the original components on your RC car. By choosing this official FTX accessory, you're investing in compatibility, durability and peace of mind that your Stinger or EVO30 will be properly protected for years to come.

- Lightweight Construction — Designed to add minimal weight to your 1/10 RC car, this cover won't negatively impact handling characteristics, acceleration or top speed performance on the track or during casual bashing sessions.
- Durable Materials — FTX covers are constructed from quality materials selected to withstand the rigours of RC racing and bashing, providing long-lasting protection against dust, moisture and minor impacts.

Technical Performance
The FTX Stinger ESC/Servo Cover is engineered as a protective enclosure specifically dimensioned for the electronics bay of FTX's 1/10 scale on-road brushless street racing platform. The cover is designed to accommodate the compact electronics layout found in modern ready to run RC cars, where the ESC and servo are positioned in close proximity to optimise weight distribution and handling characteristics. By providing a sealed protective barrier, the cover helps prevent ingress of dust particles, sand, moisture and road debris that can accumulate during driving sessions and cause electrical shorts, corrosion or mechanical failure. The materials used are selected for durability and resistance to the wear patterns experienced during typical RC car operation, including vibration from high-speed runs, temperature cycling from battery heat, and exposure to outdoor elements. This is particularly important for UK-based RC enthusiasts who may be operating their cars in varying weather conditions throughout the year. The cover's lightweight design ensures it does not compromise the performance envelope of your Stinger or EVO30, allowing these brushless RC cars to maintain their factory acceleration, braking response and on-road handling characteristics.
