Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this servo plate compatible with my FTX Mauler? — This aluminium servo plate with mount is specifically designed for the FTX Mauler 2.0 4x4 Rock Crawler, including both the red (FTX5575R2) and yellow (FTX5575Y2) RTR models. If you own an original FTX Mauler without the "2.0" designation, please verify compatibility before ordering. This is a direct OEM replacement part that will fit and function perfectly on the Mauler 2.0 platform without modification.
- What makes aluminium better than plastic for a servo plate? — Aluminium offers superior rigidity compared to plastic whilst remaining lightweight, which is crucial for rock crawling applications where servo response and positioning must remain absolutely consistent across extreme angles and rough terrain. Aluminium also dissipates vibration more effectively and resists deformation over extended use, making it the preferred choice for serious rock crawlers who demand precision control.
- Do I need any additional parts to install this servo plate? — No, this component comes complete with the integrated mount system, meaning all necessary hardware and mounting components are included. You simply need to install it onto your FTX Mauler 2.0 chassis according to the assembly instructions, and it will be ready for use immediately.
- How often should I replace my servo plate? — In normal rock crawling use, a quality aluminium servo plate should last for an extended period. However, if you notice cracks, bending, looseness, or any change in servo response or alignment, this is a clear indication that replacement is necessary. Additionally, if you are upgrading your servo to a higher-torque model, you may want to install a fresh servo plate to ensure optimal performance.
- Can this be used as an upgrade even if my current servo plate is still functional? — Absolutely. Many UK rock crawlers choose to replace stock servo plates with genuine FTX aluminium alternatives as a performance upgrade, particularly if their original plate is plastic or showing signs of wear. An upgrade to this aluminium servo plate can improve control response and durability, making it a worthwhile investment for competitive or serious weekend bashers.
- Is this part suitable for beginners? — Yes, this servo plate is essential for all FTX Mauler 2.0 owners, whether you are new to rock crawling or an experienced competitor. If you need to replace a damaged servo plate or you are repairing your Mauler 2.0, this is the correct OEM part to order. Beginners will find installation straightforward, and the improvement in servo consistency makes it a sensible maintenance investment.
