Key Features
- Genuine FTX Component — This is an authentic manufacturer-supplied part designed and approved by FTX specifically for the Gladius model, which means it meets the original equipment specifications and fits perfectly without modification or adjustment.
- Steering Servo Mount Functionality — The servo mount is purpose-built to securely hold and position your steering servo within the Gladius chassis, providing the mechanical interface that translates servo movement into precise front-wheel steering adjustments during operation.
- Direct Replacement Part — This is a direct replacement component that installs identically to your original mount, making it straightforward to remove the damaged part and install the new one without requiring any modifications to your chassis or other components.
- Critical Steering System Component — The servo mount is fundamental to your steering system's performance; a damaged mount can result in loose steering, uneven wheel alignment, or servo binding, all of which compromise handling and can cause further damage to connected parts.
- Durable Construction — FTX has engineered this mount to withstand the stresses and vibrations encountered during RC driving, from gentle circuit racing to off-road bashing, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding conditions.
- Cost-Effective Solution — By replacing just the damaged servo mount rather than upgrading entire steering assemblies, you can restore your Gladius to full performance at a fraction of the cost of complete rebuilds or replacements.
Technical Performance
The FTX Gladius Steering Servo Mount is manufactured to precise engineering tolerances to ensure flawless integration with the Gladius chassis and servo components. This spare part plays a critical role in the steering linkage assembly, providing the mounting platform that positions your servo motor at the optimal angle and distance from the steering linkage.

A properly installed servo mount with no play or flex ensures that every command from your radio transmitter translates directly into steering movement without delay or loss of precision. The engineering approach taken by FTX ensures that this component can handle the continuous mechanical stresses generated during aggressive driving, whether you're performing high-speed passes on a circuit track or navigating challenging terrain in off-road conditions. The material composition and design have been validated across thousands of Gladius models in use by RC enthusiasts throughout the UK and beyond, providing confidence in its durability and performance longevity.
