Overview
The FTX Vantage/Carnage/Outlaw/Banzai Diff. Gearbox (FTX6236) is an essential replacement differential gearbox assembly designed for multiple FTX RC models. Whether you're running an FTX Vantage brushed or brushless buggy, an FTX Carnage 2.0 monster truck, an FTX Outlaw ultra-4 buggy, or an FTX Banzai drift car, this differential gearbox set provides the critical drivetrain component needed to keep your RC car performing at its best. As a UK RC hobbyist, maintaining and upgrading your RC car's drivetrain is essential for reliable performance, whether you're bashing in the garden, competing at your local track, or enjoying high-speed runs across open ground.
This differential gearbox assembly is a genuine FTX spare part manufactured to the same exacting standards as the original equipment fitted to new FTX RC vehicles. The differential is the component responsible for distributing engine power to both wheels while allowing them to rotate at different speeds during cornering, which is absolutely critical for handling, traction and overall driving dynamics. Over time and with regular use, differential gearboxes can wear or become damaged, especially if you're a regular basher pushing your RC car to its limits. Having a quality replacement differential gearbox on hand means you can get your FTX RC car back on the track or field quickly and affordably.
FTX has built a strong reputation among UK RC enthusiasts for producing ready to run RC vehicles and replacement parts that offer excellent value without compromising on quality. This differential gearbox is no exception, offering reliable performance across a wide range of FTX models in the Vantage, Carnage, Outlaw and Banzai families. Whether you need a replacement differential due to wear, damage, or simply want to keep a spare on hand, this is the genuine FTX part you need.
Key Features
- Multi-Model Compatibility — This single differential gearbox set is engineered to fit multiple popular FTX RC car models including the Vantage 2.0 brushed and brushless buggies, the Carnage 2.0 brushed and brushless monster trucks, the Outlaw 1/10 ultra-4 buggies in both brushed and brushless versions, and the Banzai 1/10 drift cars. This broad compatibility means you have one part that works across several models, making it excellent value for multi-model FTX collectors.
- Genuine FTX Manufactured Part — As an official FTX spare part with the genuine model number FTX6236, this differential gearbox is manufactured to the same quality standards and specifications as the original differential fitted to new FTX RC vehicles. This ensures perfect fitment and reliable performance without any compromise.
- Drivetrain Reliability — The differential gearbox is a precision-engineered component responsible for distributing power evenly to both wheels whilst allowing them to turn at different speeds during cornering. A quality differential gearbox is essential for smooth, responsive handling and consistent traction across all driving conditions.
- Affordable Replacement Solution — At a competitive price point, this differential gearbox represents excellent value as a replacement or spare part. Rather than replacing an entire RC car when the differential becomes worn or damaged, you can simply swap in this replacement assembly and return to driving within minutes.
- Easy Installation — Being a direct replacement part designed specifically for FTX models, installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC car maintenance knowledge. The gearbox slots directly into the existing mounting points on your FTX Vantage, Carnage, Outlaw or Banzai.
Technical Performance
The differential gearbox is a critical component of your RC car's drivetrain system, and the FTX6236 has been engineered with precision to ensure smooth power delivery and optimal handling characteristics. The differential works by using a system of precisely cut internal gears that allow each wheel to receive engine power whilst rotating at different speeds, which is essential for maintaining traction and control during cornering manoeuvres. This is particularly important on RC buggies like the Vantage and Outlaw, where responsive handling and consistent traction are essential for competitive performance on loose terrain. The gearbox housing is manufactured from durable materials designed to withstand the stresses of regular driving, including hard bashing, high-speed runs, and competitive racing. The internal gear ratios and bearing surfaces are precision-engineered to minimise friction and wear, ensuring long service life even with regular use. Whether you're running a brushed or brushless motor in your FTX model, this differential gearbox is engineered to handle the power delivery smoothly and reliably. The gearbox is a direct replacement for the original equipment, meaning it integrates seamlessly with your existing FTX RC car without any modification or adjustment required.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which FTX RC car models is this differential gearbox compatible with? — This FTX6236 differential gearbox is compatible with multiple FTX models including the FTX Vantage 2.0 brushed and brushless buggies, the FTX Carnage 2.0 brushed and brushless monster trucks, the FTX Carnage NT nitro truck, the FTX Outlaw 1/10 brushed and brushless ultra-4 buggies, and the FTX Banzai 1/10 electric drift cars. It's an excellent part to stock if you own multiple FTX models, as one differential can serve as a spare across several vehicles.
- How often should I replace the differential gearbox on my RC car? — The differential gearbox is a wear item that will gradually wear down with regular use. If you're a frequent basher or racer, you might experience wear after 6-12 months of regular driving, depending on your driving style and terrain. However, differential gearboxes can also fail suddenly if damaged during a crash or hard impact. Signs that your differential needs replacement include grinding noises from the differential area, loose or sloppy handling, and difficulty maintaining traction during cornering.
- Is this differential gearbox suitable for beginners? — Yes, this is an excellent spare part for RC enthusiasts of all experience levels. Beginners will appreciate that it's an easy bolt-in replacement that requires no special tools or technical knowledge to install. More experienced RC drivers and racers will value having a spare differential on hand so they can get back on the track quickly if their main differential becomes worn or damaged.
- How does a differential gearbox affect my RC car's handling? — The differential gearbox is fundamental to your RC car's handling characteristics. A worn or damaged differential will result in poor traction, unresponsive steering, and difficulty maintaining control during turns. Replacing a worn differential with a quality new one like this FTX6236 will restore smooth, responsive handling and consistent traction, making your RC car feel like new again.
- Can I use this differential with different motor types? — Yes, this differential gearbox works with both brushed and brushless motors. The differential itself is motor-agnostic; it simply distributes power from the motor to the wheels. Whether your FTX model uses a brushed or brushless setup, this differential will perform reliably.
- Is installation difficult? — Installation is relatively straightforward for anyone with basic RC car maintenance experience. The differential simply bolts into the existing mounting points on your FTX model. Most RC enthusiasts can complete the installation in 20-30 minutes with standard tools. If you're unsure about any step, RC Model Shop team members are always happy to provide guidance.
