Always verify your model number before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
- Is this a genuine FTX part? — Yes, this is an official FTX component manufactured to exact factory specifications. Purchasing genuine FTX spares ensures perfect compatibility and maintains the quality standards expected from the brand. Many RC car owners choose genuine parts to avoid potential fitment issues and performance degradation that can sometimes occur with third-party alternatives.
- Why would I need to replace my servo top plate and motor braces? — Through regular use, drift driving, bashing and competitive racing, servo mounting plates and motor braces can become worn, damaged, cracked or bent. Impact damage from crashes is also common in the RC hobby. Replacing these components restores your Havok to factory condition and ensures optimal performance, precise steering response and secure motor mounting.
- How difficult is it to install this part? — Installation is generally straightforward for anyone with basic RC car maintenance experience. The servo top plate and motor braces are designed as direct replacements, meaning they fit into the existing mounting points on your Havok chassis. If you're new to RC car maintenance, there are many helpful guides and video tutorials available online from the RC community, and your local RC model shop may be able to offer advice or installation services.
- What tools will I need to install this part? — Typically you'll need basic hand tools such as hex keys (Allen keys), small screwdrivers and possibly a drill with appropriate bits, depending on your specific installation needs. Check the Havok manual or assembly guides for the exact hardware and tools required for your model variant.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is a replacement spare part rather than a complete vehicle, so it's intended for owners who already have an FTX Havok RC car and need to replace worn components. If you're new to RC car ownership, starting with a complete ready-to-run RC car like a full Havok package is recommended, after which you can purchase spares like this as needed for maintenance and repairs.
