The servo mount is a critical component that connects your steering servo to the chassis, directly affecting steering response, accuracy and overall handling characteristics. By upgrading to this carbon variant, you're investing in improved durability and performance that will be noticeable in every run.
Carbon fibre construction offers distinct advantages over standard plastic or aluminium alternatives, providing an optimal balance of lightweight rigidity and impact resistance. This makes it an ideal choice for both on-road racing applications and general recreational bashing. If you're serious about getting the most from your FTX Rally MK2RS, this is a component that belongs in your upgrade arsenal.
Key Features
- Carbon Fibre Construction — The servo mount is manufactured from high-quality carbon fibre material, which delivers superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to standard plastic or metal alternatives, allowing for better steering response and reduced unsprung weight.
- Precision Engineering — Engineered specifically for the FTX Rally MK2RS platform, this component maintains exact fitment and alignment tolerances, ensuring your steering servo operates at peak efficiency without binding or deflection.
- Enhanced Durability — Carbon fibre's inherent rigidity and impact resistance means this servo mount will withstand the stresses and strains of aggressive driving, whether you're racing competitively or bashing casually across varied terrain.
- Improved Steering Feel — By providing a stiffer mounting platform for your servo, this component reduces flex in the steering linkage, delivering more direct and responsive steering inputs that translate into better overall car control.
- Official FTX Hop-Up — As a genuine FTX part designed by the manufacturer, you can be confident this component meets all original specifications and quality standards for perfect compatibility with your FTX Rally MK2RS.
Technical Performance
The FTX Rally MK2RS Carbon Servo Mount exemplifies modern RC engineering practices through its use of advanced materials and precision manufacturing. Carbon fibre offers exceptional properties for RC applications: it provides significantly greater stiffness than aluminium or plastic whilst maintaining minimal weight, which is crucial for maintaining the Rally's balance and handling characteristics. The servo mount is the critical interface between your steering servo and the vehicle chassis, meaning any flex or movement here directly impacts steering accuracy and response time. By upgrading to this carbon variant, you eliminate deflection that occurs in standard mounts during aggressive steering inputs or high-speed cornering. The manufacturing tolerances are precisely matched to FTX Rally MK2RS specifications, ensuring the servo aligns perfectly with the steering linkage and bellcrank system. This precision fit prevents binding, excessive play, or misalignment that could cause premature wear or degraded handling. For RC car enthusiasts in the UK who demand the best performance from their vehicles, investing in quality hop-ups like this servo mount is a proven path to improved on-track results and more enjoyable driving experiences both in competitive racing environments and casual weekend bashing sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FTX Rally MK2RS Carbon Servo Mount compatible with standard FTX Rally models? — This servo mount is specifically engineered for the FTX Rally MK2RS platform. For compatibility with other FTX Rally variants, please verify model specifications before purchasing. It is designed to meet the exact fitment requirements of the MK2RS generation.
- What advantages does carbon fibre offer over aluminium servo mounts? — Carbon fibre provides superior stiffness-to-weight ratio compared to aluminium, meaning you get a stiffer component without adding extra weight to your RC car. This translates to more responsive steering and better overall handling precision. Additionally, carbon fibre offers excellent impact resistance, making it ideal for both racing and bashing applications.
- Will this servo mount improve my steering response? — Yes, by providing a more rigid mounting platform for your servo, this component reduces flex in the steering system during steering inputs. This creates a more direct connection between your servo movement and actual steering change, resulting in noticeably improved steering feel and response, particularly during fast cornering or aggressive manoeuvres.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is an intermediate-level hop-up component designed for drivers who are already familiar with their FTX Rally MK2RS and wish to enhance its performance. Installation requires basic mechanical knowledge. Beginners are welcome to use it, but should ensure they understand servo mounting procedures before installation.
- What servo does this mount work with? — The source material does not specify particular servo brands or sizes. This is a universal servo mount designed to work with standard servo sizes compatible with the FTX Rally MK2RS platform. Consult your Rally MK2RS manual or contact RC Model Shop for specific servo compatibility information.
- How difficult is installation? — Installation complexity depends on your mechanical experience level. The source material does not provide detailed installation instructions, but servo mount replacement is generally considered an intermediate-level task. We recommend consulting the FTX Rally MK2RS assembly guide or seeking guidance from RC Model Shop's experienced team if you require assistance.
