Technical Performance
The FTX Rally MK2RS Steering Saver Tube & Spring Set represents precision engineering designed specifically for the unique demands of 1/10th scale brushless rally racing. This complete assembly includes both the steering saver tube structure and the accompanying spring mechanism that work together to create a progressive impact absorption system. When your FTX MK2RS hits a kerb during a fast rally stage, or lands hard from a jump, the steering saver spring compresses gradually to absorb the impact energy before it can transfer to your servo. This mechanical damping system is far more reliable than attempting to manage impact forces without protection, and it significantly reduces wear on servo gears, linkage rods, and the steering control hardware. The tube component provides structural support and precise alignment, whilst the spring element provides the critical damping action. Built from durable materials selected by FTX engineers for longevity and consistent performance, this steering saver assembly maintains its protective characteristics across hundreds of driving hours. Installation involves removing the damaged or worn steering saver from your rally car and fitting this replacement assembly in its place, a task well within the capabilities of most RC enthusiasts who perform regular maintenance on their machines.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a steering saver and why does my FTX MK2RS need one? — A steering saver is a protective component that absorbs impact forces transmitted to your steering system during crashes, jumps, and aggressive cornering. Your FTX MK2RS rally car experiences significant forces through the steering linkage during rally driving, and the steering saver prevents these impacts from damaging your expensive servo motor and steering components. Without a steering saver, a single hard impact could destroy your steering servo, which would be a costly repair. The steering saver essentially sacrifices itself in a controlled way, absorbing impacts through spring compression rather than allowing those forces to break your servo.
- How do I know if my steering saver needs replacing? — If your FTX MK2RS steering feels loose, unresponsive, or if the steering doesn't return to centre smoothly after impacts, your steering saver may be damaged. Additionally, if you've had a significant crash or your steering tube is visibly bent or damaged, replacement is necessary to restore proper steering function and protection.
- Is this part compatible with all FTX rally models? — This steering saver tube and spring set is specifically designed for the FTX MK2RS 1/10th brushless rally car. Verify your model number before ordering to ensure compatibility. The FTX5470W (white version) and FTX5470BK (black version) of the MK2RS both use this identical steering saver assembly.
- How difficult is it to install this steering saver? — Installation is relatively straightforward for anyone with basic RC car maintenance experience. You'll need to remove the old steering saver assembly from your rally car and fit the new tube and spring set in its place. Most users can complete this replacement in 15-30 minutes with basic RC tools. If you're unsure about installation, RC Model Shop staff can provide guidance, or you can consult your FTX MK2RS manual for specific installation diagrams and torque specifications.
- Will this steering saver improve my driving? — The steering saver won't make you faster, but it will allow you to drive more aggressively with confidence, knowing your expensive steering servo is protected. This confidence can indirectly improve your performance by allowing you to push harder without fear of catastrophic damage.
