Technical Performance
The centre link mount is a critical steering component in the Mauler 2.0 rock crawler platform. This part connects and supports the centre link assembly, which translates steering input from your radio receiver to the front wheels. The mount must withstand the lateral forces, impacts, and vibrations encountered during aggressive rock crawling without flexing or breaking. FTX engineers have designed this component using durable materials suitable for the demanding environment of competitive and recreational rock crawling. Rock crawlers navigate steep inclines, boulder fields, and technical terrain where precise steering geometry is essential for traction control and line selection. The centre link mount maintains this critical alignment. As a genuine OEM spare part, it meets the exact material specifications, tolerances, and performance standards required for the Mauler 2.0 platform. Whether you are replacing a mount damaged during an aggressive crawl or maintaining your vehicle as part of routine servicing, this spare part ensures your steering remains accurate and reliable.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a centre link mount and why do I need it for my FTX Mauler? — The centre link mount is a steering component that supports the centre link assembly in your Mauler 2.0 rock crawler. The centre link transmits steering commands from your radio receiver to both front wheels. Without a properly functioning centre link mount, your steering geometry becomes misaligned, causing unpredictable handling and reduced crawling control. Rock crawling puts extreme stress on steering components, making replacement centres link mounts an essential spare to have on hand.
- Will these centre link mounts fit my Mauler 2.0? — Yes, these mounts are specifically designed for the FTX Mauler 2.0 4x4 Rock Crawler RTR. FTX confirms direct compatibility with both the FTX5575R2 (red) and FTX5575Y2 (yellow) models. If you own a different FTX model or an older Mauler version, please verify the model number of your vehicle before ordering.
- How often do centre link mounts need replacing? — Centre link mounts typically last a long time under normal use, but aggressive rock crawling, crashes, or impacts can damage them. Many experienced RC crawlers keep spares on hand because a damaged centre link mount will make your crawler feel unstable and unresponsive. If you notice your steering becoming vague or uncentred, a damaged centre link mount could be the culprit.
- Are these genuine OEM parts? — Yes, these are genuine FTX centre link mounts manufactured to OEM specifications. RC Model Shop is an authorised FTX retailer, and we stock only genuine spare parts to ensure you receive components that meet factory quality standards and fit perfectly with your equipment.
