Technical Performance
The FTX Outlaw/Kanyon Aluminium Rear Axle Cover is crafted from high-grade aluminium alloy that balances strength with minimal weight addition. Aluminium is a preferred material for RC component engineering because it offers excellent rigidity and impact resistance whilst remaining lightweight — critical considerations when upgrading 1/10 scale RC buggies and crawlers. The cover is engineered to integrate seamlessly with FTX's proven chassis designs found on models like the Outlaw brushless RC buggy and Kanyon trail crawler. The component is classified as a chassis tune-up option, meaning it's designed to enhance the durability and appearance of your existing RC platform without requiring any modifications to the core drivetrain, suspension or electrical systems. Whether you're running a brushless 4WD setup on rough terrain or pushing your RC vehicle through challenging trail courses, this rear axle cover provides crucial protection to one of the most hard-working components of your RC car — the rear axle assembly and drivetrain.
