Technical Performance
The FTX Diff Drive Spur Gear (2) FTX6229 is engineered as a precision drivetrain component designed to work within FTX's differential systems across multiple vehicle platforms. These gears are manufactured to strict OEM tolerances to ensure they mesh perfectly with mating components in your RC car's transmission, whether you're running a brushed electric motor or a more powerful brushless setup. The spur gear is a critical load-bearing component in the drivetrain, translating rotational force from the motor into forward motion whilst managing the distribution of torque through the differential to the wheels. Quality control in manufacturing ensures consistent tooth profile and material properties across both gears in the pack, preventing premature wear and maintaining smooth power delivery. These gears are suitable for use across FTX's range of 1/10 scale vehicles including buggies, trucks, crawlers and truggies, making them an essential addition to any RC enthusiast's spare parts box. The dual-pack format means you can keep your RC car UK-ready with a fresh set of gears whilst maintaining a backup for your next maintenance session or track day.

- Why would I need replacement diff drive spur gears? — Spur gears are wear items that gradually lose their tooth profile during normal operation, especially if you regularly run your RC car with high throttle applications or in off-road conditions. Replacing them when they show signs of tooth degradation ensures smooth acceleration, reduces drivetrain noise and prevents potential damage to other transmission components.
- Are these genuine FTX parts? — Yes, the FTX6229 is an authentic OEM component manufactured to original FTX specifications. Buying genuine spare parts ensures perfect fitment and compatibility with your RC model, avoiding the risk of fitment issues or premature failure that can occur with aftermarket alternatives.
- How often should I replace my spur gears? — The frequency depends on your driving style, terrain and vehicle use. Casual weekend bashers might replace them annually or less often, whilst competitive racers or high-throttle users may need replacements every few months. Regular inspection of your gears during maintenance is the best way to determine when replacement is needed.
- Why do I get two gears in one pack? — The two-gear format provides excellent value and practicality. You can replace the worn gear in your RC car and maintain a fresh spare set for your next scheduled service or emergency replacement, ensuring your RC vehicle is always ready for action.
