Overview
The FTX Stinger Steering Mount Set/Steering Horn (FTX10515) is an essential replacement and upgrade component for FTX on-road street cars, specifically designed for the FTX Stinger 1/10 brushless RC car and the FTX EVO30 1/10 street car range. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast looking to maintain your FTX vehicle in peak condition or someone exploring the world of ready-to-run RC cars in the UK, this steering mount set provides the precision components needed to keep your steering system responsive and reliable. Steering systems are critical to RC car performance, and having quality replacement parts on hand ensures you can quickly get back to the track or street courses without extended downtime.
This steering mount set and steering horn combination represents genuine FTX engineering, built to the same exacting standards as the original components fitted to new vehicles. For RC car enthusiasts across the UK who demand authentic replacement parts, genuine spares ensure compatibility, durability and consistent handling characteristics. The FTX brand has established itself as a trusted manufacturer within the RC hobby community, and this component reflects that commitment to quality and performance. Whether you've damaged your existing steering components during an aggressive run or simply want to keep spare parts on hand for maintenance, this is a reliable solution from an established RC car manufacturer.
As a chassis spare specifically engineered for FTX on-road street cars, this steering mount set integrates seamlessly with the suspension and drivetrain of compatible models, maintaining the precise steering geometry that these 1/10 scale vehicles require for smooth handling and predictable cornering characteristics.
Key Features
- Genuine FTX Component — This is an authentic FTX spare part manufactured to original equipment specifications, ensuring perfect fitment and performance characteristics identical to the parts originally supplied with your RC car.
- Steering Mount Set Design — The complete mount set provides all necessary brackets and attachment points needed to secure the steering system to the chassis frame, maintaining proper alignment and mechanical advantage throughout the steering range.
- Integrated Steering Horn — The included steering horn connects the servo output shaft to the steering linkage, translating servo movements into precise front-wheel steering inputs with minimal play or deflection.
- On-Road Street Car Optimised — Specifically engineered for the FTX Stinger and FTX EVO30 on-road street cars, this component maintains the tight tolerances and precise geometry required for smooth street driving and circuit racing applications.
- Direct OEM Replacement — This part is designed as a direct replacement for the factory-fitted component, eliminating compatibility guesswork and ensuring your RC car maintains its original handling characteristics and steering response.
- Durable Construction — Built with quality materials selected for durability and resistance to the stresses generated during acceleration, braking and cornering in on-road street car applications.
- Essential Maintenance Component — Steering components are subject to wear and tear during regular use; having genuine replacement parts available ensures you can maintain your RC car's performance without compromising quality or precision.
Technical Performance
The steering mount set represents a crucial component within the steering and chassis architecture of 1/10 scale on-road street RC cars. In vehicles like the FTX Stinger 1/10 brushless street car and the FTX EVO30 street-oriented platform, the steering system must translate servo commands into precise wheel movements whilst maintaining the geometry required for stable cornering and predictable handling across varying driving surfaces. The steering horn, as part of this assembly, works in conjunction with the servo to create a mechanical advantage that allows the servo motor's rotational output to become linear movement of the steering linkage. The mount points must maintain rigidity whilst allowing free movement of the steering components, and the precision engineering of this FTX component ensures that both requirements are met. Over time, steering components in RC cars can develop play or looseness due to repeated impacts, hard cornering loads, and the accumulated stress of thousands of steering inputs during regular use. This genuine FTX steering mount set restores the tight tolerances and precise mechanical characteristics that your street car requires for responsive handling and predictable cornering behaviour.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this a genuine FTX part or an aftermarket replacement? — This is a genuine FTX original equipment component manufactured to the same specifications as the parts supplied with new FTX vehicles. Using authentic OEM parts ensures perfect fitment, maintains your vehicle's warranty status where applicable, and guarantees performance characteristics identical to the factory setup.
- What does a steering mount set include? — The steering mount set includes all brackets, fasteners and mounting components required to attach the steering system to your RC car's chassis. Combined with the included steering horn, it provides a complete steering assembly solution, whereas the steering horn specifically connects your servo to the steering linkage to translate servo movements into wheel steering inputs.
- Will this fit my FTX Stinger RC car? — Yes, this component is specifically engineered for the FTX Stinger 1/10 on-road street brushless RTR cars. The FTX10515 is confirmed compatible with FTX5492R (Red) and FTX5492G (Grey) Stinger models. If you own an EVO30 model, it is also compatible with both brushed (FTX5491R, FTX5491BK) and brushless (FTX5493R, FTX5493BK) variants.
- When should I replace my steering mount and steering horn? — You should consider replacement if you notice excessive play or slop in the steering response, if the steering feels unresponsive or delayed compared to your servo input, if you've impacted the front end during a crash, or if you observe visible damage or cracks in the steering components. Regular maintenance inspection of steering systems helps identify wear before it becomes a handling problem.
- Why is steering system maintenance important for RC cars? — The steering system is responsible for converting your transmitter input into precise wheel movements. Any looseness, wear or damage in the steering mount, horn or connecting linkage directly degrades your RC car's handling response and cornering predictability. For on-road street cars that rely on smooth, precise steering for competitive lap times and consistent performance, maintaining tight tolerances in the steering system is essential.
- Can I use this part on other FTX models? — This steering mount set is specifically engineered for the FTX Stinger and FTX EVO30 street car platforms. Whilst some FTX models may share similar architecture, using genuine OEM parts designed for your specific model ensures optimal fitment and performance. Consult your vehicle's manual or contact RC Model Shop for compatibility with other FTX platforms.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Whilst steering components are internal to the RC car, replacement requires basic mechanical skills and familiarity with your vehicle's assembly. If you are new to RC car maintenance, RC Model Shop staff can provide guidance on installation, or you may prefer to have experienced hobbyists or dedicated RC workshops perform the installation to ensure proper alignment and setup.
