ProTek RC Aluminum Servo Mount Grommet (Black) (4)
About this part
These ProTek R/C Aluminum Servo Grommets are a stronger alternative to traditional rubber grommets, a smart idea over using no grommets, and do an excellent job at completely locking the servo in place.
Traditional rubber grommets do a great job at absorbing slight vibrations and prolonging the life of older, previous generation servos. With current generation of servos being stronger and more powerful, the role of the rubber grommet isn't needed, as evident with the servo saver going extinct in 1/10 scale.
Many people choose to use no grommets on the servo but this comes at the risk of the servo moving around. Without any grommets filling up the dead space in the servo ears, sometimes under certain conditions or impacts, the servo can slightly shift. For a steering servo this can mean losing your center trim and with a throttle servo this can cause frustrating issues with your idle and brakes.
NOTE: These servo grommets use a 4.40mm shoulder to press into the servo ears. Please measure your servo ears to verify fitment.
Features:
- Made from strong aluminum alloy
- Locks the servo in place
- Includes four grommets and four mounting screws
- Also available in blue: PTK-3041

These work awesome. Very tight fit into the servo ears holes and then the supplied screws thread into these and then into your mounts on the chassis and then you have a solid servo mount. Mounted a Futaba 9550 Low Profile into the Alum Floating Servo Mount in the Yokomo BD7 2016 and everything lines up good and expect it to work on everything else.
Very nice upgrade from my plastic ones that came in the kit
great addition, just wish they we cheaper, or came with a horn for this price
Fit the Protek 170 servos perfect. Check measurements for other servos.
Work exactly as they should. No movement in the servo and fits tightly into the servo ears.I Have them in Element crawlers,Kyosho fazer & even a Wltoys. Much better than the mounting hardware that comes with a servo.
Reviewers generally find these aluminum servo mount grommets fit tightly into servo ears, provide a solid mount, and align well in several chassis and servo combinations, including a Futaba 9550 in a Yokomo BD7 and a Protek 170 servo. Several describe them as a clear upgrade over stock plastic mounting hardware. One reviewer notes they do not fit a TRX4 because of a built-in spacer, and another criticises price and suggests a horn would be included. A recurring complaint is inconsistent workmanship in one set, where holes were reportedly not drilled correctly and screws did not seat properly. One reviewer advises checking measurements for other servos.
