Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an ESC plate and why do I need one for my FTX Gladius? — An ESC (electronic speed controller) plate is the mounting bracket and structural component that holds your speed controller securely in place within the chassis of your RC car. It's an essential part because the ESC regulates the power flowing from your battery to your motor, controlling acceleration, braking and direction. Without a properly functioning ESC plate, your controller cannot be mounted safely, which could lead to electrical failures, disconnections or damage to your vehicle during operation.

- What vehicles does this ESC plate fit? — This ESC plate is designed exclusively for the FTX Gladius RC model. It is not compatible with other FTX vehicles or RC cars from different manufacturers.
- How difficult is it to install the ESC plate myself? — Installation difficulty depends on your mechanical experience with RC vehicles. If you have previously worked on RC cars and are comfortable removing and reinstalling components, you should be able to manage this replacement. However, if you're new to RC mechanics, you may want to seek assistance from a more experienced RC enthusiast or visit a local RC hobby shop for installation support.
- Do I need any special tools to install this ESC plate? — The specific tools required will depend on how your ESC plate attaches to your Gladius chassis. Typically, small screwdrivers and possibly some small pliers or hex keys may be needed, but the exact requirements are best determined by consulting your Gladius instruction manual or contacting our customer support team.
