Overview
The FTX Colt Servo Saver Post 2pcs (FTX6825) is an essential replacement spare part designed specifically for the FTX Colt RC car. This servo saver post component plays a crucial role in protecting your servo and steering mechanism from damage during aggressive driving and impacts. Whether you're bashing on rough terrain or competing in organised RC car UK events, having quality replacement parts on hand ensures your vehicle stays in peak condition and ready for action.
Servo saver posts are vital protective components found in modern RC cars that absorb and distribute impact forces away from sensitive servo equipment. The FTX Colt Servo Saver Post is engineered to maintain the structural integrity of your steering system whilst allowing for some give during collisions and rough landings. This is particularly important if you're pushing your RC car to its limits on challenging British terrain or in competitive racing scenarios.

As an authorised FTX spare part, this component is manufactured to exact OEM specifications and guarantees perfect compatibility with your FTX Colt. For RC enthusiasts in the UK looking to maintain their vehicles properly and avoid costly servo replacements, keeping quality spare parts like this in your pit box is essential maintenance practice.

Technical Performance
The FTX Colt Servo Saver Post is engineered specifically for the FTX Colt platform, offering purpose-built protection for the steering and servo systems found in this popular RC car model. The servo saver post mechanism works by providing a controlled flex point in the steering column that absorbs shock loads during impacts, collisions and rough terrain driving. This protective function is especially valuable when driving at speed across uneven surfaces, landing jumps, or during competitive racing where contact with obstacles is inevitable. The component is manufactured from quality materials selected for durability and reliability, ensuring it can withstand repeated impacts without permanent deformation. Whether you're driving your FTX Colt on grass, dirt, tarmac or mixed terrain, this servo saver post helps maintain steering precision by preventing servo damage that could cause play or unresponsiveness in your steering input. The two-piece format allows for convenient replacement of both sides simultaneously, maintaining balanced steering geometry and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a servo saver post and why do I need one for my FTX Colt? — A servo saver post is a protective component in your RC car's steering system that absorbs impact forces during collisions, jumps and rough terrain driving. Rather than allowing these impacts to transfer directly to your servo (which could cause expensive damage), the servo saver post acts as a shock absorber. This means you can bash and race your FTX Colt harder without constantly worrying about servo damage. If you drive your RC car regularly on challenging terrain or in competitive situations, having good servo saver posts in good condition is essential maintenance.
- How often do I need to replace my servo saver posts? — The frequency of replacement depends entirely on your driving style and conditions. Aggressive bashers and racers may need to replace them more frequently than casual drivers. You should inspect them regularly for cracks, permanent bending or deformation. If you notice your steering becoming less responsive or developing play, check your servo saver posts as they may be damaged and in need of replacement.
- Will these servo saver posts fit my FTX Colt? — Yes, these are official FTX spare parts designed specifically for the FTX Colt model. They are manufactured to exact OEM specifications and will provide perfect fitment. As an authorised FTX retailer, RC Model Shop supplies only genuine factory components that guarantee compatibility.
- What tools do I need to install the servo saver posts? — Installation typically requires only basic RC car tools such as Allen keys (hex wrenches) and possibly a screwdriver, depending on how the posts attach to your specific FTX Colt version. Most RC enthusiasts can handle this replacement task themselves in minutes without requiring specialist equipment or technical knowledge.
- Is this a genuine FTX part? — Absolutely. This is a genuine OEM FTX spare part, not a counterfeit or third-party alternative. When you purchase from RC Model Shop, you can be confident you're receiving authentic factory components that meet FTX's quality standards.
