Smokem 417CTR servo mount

The Smokem 417CTR servo mount is now available for the TRF417 and TRF417X. This servo mount allows the servo on your Tamiya to be mounted along the centerline of the chassis. By eliminating the outside mounting point it frees up front-end flex for improved steering. Furthermore this servo mount ensures symmetrical chassis flex in this area, for a more balanced steering response. The Smokem 417CTR Servo Mount is made from premium 7075-T6 aluminium and is anodized blue to match the rest of your TRF racing machine.
