FTX Pinion Gear 17 Teeth Mod 0.6 RC Spare Part FTX6335

Overview

The FTX Pinion Gear 17t is an essential replacement component for FTX RC cars, specifically designed to work with the Carnage, Bugsta, Outlaw, and Kanyon model ranges. This is a genuine OEM spare part that maintains the precise engineering standards required for reliable performance in competitive and recreational RC driving. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast running your FTX brushed or brushless RC buggy and truck models, or someone who simply needs a replacement gear after intensive use, this pinion gear is engineered to deliver consistent performance and longevity.

As a critical drivetrain component, the pinion gear plays a fundamental role in transferring power from your motor to the spur gear and ultimately to the wheels of your RC vehicle. The FTX Pinion Gear 17t is manufactured to tight tolerances and specifications that ensure smooth meshing with your spur gear, reducing noise, vibration and wear across the entire transmission system. For UK RC car enthusiasts looking for ready to run RC trucks and buggies that perform reliably, having quality spare parts like this on hand is essential for maintaining peak performance during extended driving sessions.

This single pinion gear comes supplied without a grub screw, so you may need to source a compatible grub screw separately if you're replacing an existing gear. The gear is compatible with a comprehensive range of FTX 1/10 scale models including the RTR brushed and brushless variants, making it a versatile addition to your spare parts collection.

Key Features

• 17 teeth specification — This 17-tooth configuration is specifically engineered to deliver the correct gear ratio for FTX Carnage, Bugsta, Outlaw and Kanyon models, ensuring your motor power is optimised for acceleration and top speed performance across a variety of driving conditions.
• Mod 0.6 gear pitch — The gear pitch determines how the pinion meshes with the spur gear; Mod 0.6 is the standard specification for these FTX models, guaranteeing smooth power delivery and minimal backlash in the drivetrain.
• 3.2mm bore diameter — The precisely machined 3.2mm bore ensures a secure fit onto your motor shaft, preventing slipping and maintaining consistent power transmission during acceleration and deceleration.
• Genuine FTX spare part — As an original equipment manufacturer component, this pinion gear meets FTX's quality standards and engineering specifications, giving you confidence that your replacement part will perform identically to the factory original.
• Compatible with multiple models — This single pinion gear works across the Carnage, Bugsta, Outlaw and Kanyon ranges in both brushed and brushless configurations, maximising the value and utility of having this spare part in your workshop.

Technical Performance

The FTX Pinion Gear 17t is manufactured to maintain the precise engineering tolerances required for smooth, quiet operation in your RC drivetrain. With its Mod 0.6 gear pitch and 17-tooth configuration, this pinion gear is optimised to work seamlessly with the spur gears fitted to FTX Carnage 2.0, Bugsta, Outlaw and Kanyon models, delivering reliable power transfer from both brushed and brushless motors. The 3.2mm bore diameter is precisely machined to fit standard motor shafts, ensuring minimal play and maximum efficiency. User feedback indicates that whilst this brass-material gear performs its intended function effectively, some users with particularly aggressive driving styles have noted that the material can wear more quickly than hardened steel alternatives, with extended high-intensity use potentially causing the gear teeth to become rounded and subsequently wear the spur gear. For general recreational use and weekend RC driving, however, this OEM pinion gear provides excellent value and reliable performance. If you engage in frequent high-speed or competitive racing with your FTX RC buggy or truck, you may want to consider monitoring wear patterns and evaluating hardened steel upgrade options for extended component life.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which FTX RC models does this 17t pinion gear fit? — This pinion gear is compatible with the FTX Bugsta 4WD brushed 1/10th off-road buggy RTR, FTX Carnage 2.0 1/10 brushed truck 4WD RTR in both blue and red variants, FTX Carnage 2.0 brushless RTR monster truck, FTX Outlaw 1/10 4WD ultra-4 RTR buggy in both brushed and brushless versions, FTX Zorro Trophy Truck brushed RTR in blue, and FTX Kanyon models, making it an essential spare part for owners of these popular 1/10 scale ready to run RC vehicles.
• Is a grub screw included with this pinion gear? — No, this pinion gear is supplied without a grub screw. You will need to source a compatible grub screw separately to secure the gear to your motor shaft if you don't have a spare from a previous installation.
• What is the gear pitch and tooth specification? — This pinion gear features a Mod 0.6 gear pitch with 17 teeth, which is the standard specification for FTX Carnage, Bugsta, Outlaw and Kanyon models, ensuring proper meshing with your spur gear and optimised power delivery.
• What material is this pinion gear made from? — Based on user feedback, this OEM FTX pinion gear is manufactured from brass, which provides good general-purpose performance for recreational RC driving but may wear more quickly than hardened steel alternatives under aggressive or competitive use.
• How long does this pinion gear typically last? — The durability of this 17t pinion gear depends significantly on your driving style and intensity. For recreational weekend bashing with your FTX RC truck or buggy, this gear should provide reliable service for extended periods. However, users engaging in frequent high-speed running or competitive racing have reported that brass pinion gears can experience tooth wear and rounding with intensive use, potentially affecting the spur gear. Monitoring the condition of your pinion and spur gear regularly and considering hardened steel upgrades for high-performance applications can extend overall drivetrain lifespan.
• Can I upgrade to a hardened steel pinion gear? — Yes, RW offers hardened steel upgrade pinion gears in 17-tooth Mod 0.6 specifications that are compatible with your FTX models and provide extended durability compared to standard brass gears, which can be a worthwhile investment if you run your RC buggy or truck frequently.
• What bore size does this pinion gear have? — This pinion gear features a precisely machined 3.2mm bore diameter, which is the standard motor shaft size for FTX Carnage, Bugsta, Outlaw and Kanyon models, ensuring a secure and properly fitted installation.
