Overview
The FTX Outback Fury and Hi-Rock servo washers are essential replacement parts for RC enthusiasts maintaining their crawler and off-road vehicles. These precision-engineered washers are specifically designed to fit the servo mounting systems on FTX's popular Outback Fury and Hi-Rock models, ensuring smooth operation and proper servo alignment during intense driving sessions. Whether you're a dedicated RC car UK hobbyist or a competitive rock crawler pilot, having quality replacement washers on hand is crucial for keeping your RC car running at peak performance.
Servo washers may seem like small components, but they play a vital role in the overall functionality of your remote control vehicle. They distribute the load evenly across mounting points, reduce friction, and help prevent damage to servo splines and mounting brackets. For anyone involved in RC off-road racing, trail driving, or competitive rock crawling, these washers are must-have spare parts. The FTX brand is recognised throughout the RC hobby community as a producer of reliable, high-quality vehicles and spare parts, and these servo washers are no exception.
This pack provides nine individual washers with precise dimensions of 3x8x0.8mm, giving you plenty of spares to maintain multiple servo installations or keep replacements readily available for when wear occurs. Available from RC Model Shop, a trusted UK RC retailer, these washers offer excellent value for money and come from an authorised FTX dealer with full product authenticity guaranteed.

Technical Performance
These servo washers represent the engineering standards expected from FTX, a manufacturer committed to producing durable spare parts for the demanding world of RC off-road and crawler vehicles. The 3x8x0.8mm dimensions are specifically engineered to accommodate the servo mounting systems found on both the Outback Fury and Hi-Rock models, which are known for their robust construction and capability in challenging terrain. The washers are manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring consistent performance across the entire pack of nine units. When properly installed between the servo horn and mounting bracket, these washers create a protective interface that absorbs impacts and distributes loads evenly, preventing point-loading that could otherwise damage servo splines or mounting hardware. For RC enthusiasts in the UK who operate their vehicles in muddy, rocky, or rough terrain, maintaining proper servo assembly with quality washers is essential for reliable steering response and overall vehicle control. The small thickness of 0.8mm is critical to maintaining proper engagement while still providing adequate load distribution, a balance that FTX has clearly mastered in the design of these components. Whether you're running your Outback Fury on a local off-road track or tackling challenging Hi-Rock crawling courses, these washers are designed to withstand the vibration, stress, and impacts associated with serious RC driving.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these servo washers compatible with other FTX models? — These washers are specifically listed for the FTX Outback Fury and Hi-Rock models. While they may be compatible with other FTX vehicles that use similar servo mounting systems, it's always recommended to verify the exact specifications of your model before purchasing to ensure proper fitment and alignment.
- How often should servo washers be replaced on my RC car? — Servo washers should be inspected regularly, especially if you drive frequently or in harsh conditions such as mud, water, or rocky terrain. Most experienced RC enthusiasts recommend replacing them every 6-12 months of regular use, or immediately if you notice any signs of wear, flattening, or damage to the washers themselves. Replacing them proactively prevents damage to your more expensive servo components.
- What is the purpose of servo washers in RC vehicles? — Servo washers function as protective spacers between your servo horn and mounting bracket. They distribute mounting pressure evenly, reduce friction between components, absorb impact forces, and prevent the servo spline from becoming damaged or worn. This simple component plays a surprisingly important role in maintaining smooth steering response and servo longevity.
- Can I use alternative washers instead of these FTX-branded ones? — While generic washers of similar dimensions might technically fit, using original FTX parts ensures guaranteed compatibility, correct material composition, and longevity. The slight additional cost of OEM parts is offset by the peace of mind and extended lifespan of your servo components. For serious RC car UK enthusiasts, sticking with manufacturer-approved parts is always the recommended approach.
- Do I need any special tools to install these servo washers? — Installation is straightforward and requires only basic RC maintenance tools. Simply remove the servo horn screw, slide the washer onto the servo spline, and reassemble. No special tools or technical knowledge is required, making these ideal spare parts for both beginners and experienced RC drivers.
