FTX Vantage Carnage Slipper Pad 1/10 Scale RC Car Spare FTX6267

Overview

The FTX Vantage/Carnage Slipper Pad (2) FTX6267 is an essential drivetrain spare part designed for owners of FTX 1/10 scale RC cars who demand reliability and performance. This genuine FTX component is specifically engineered to work with the slipper clutch system found in models including the FTX Vantage 2.0 Brushed Buggy, FTX Vantage 2.0 Brushless Buggy, FTX Carnage 2.0 Brushed Truck, FTX Carnage 2.0 Brushless Monster Truck, and the FTX Banzai electric street drift car. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast running a ready to run RC car at high performance or a weekend basher putting your vehicle through serious punishment, having spare slipper pads in your toolkit is essential for keeping your RC car UK-ready and race-proven.

The slipper clutch is a critical component in modern RC cars, particularly those equipped with powerful brushless motors that can generate extreme torque. As an authorised retailer of FTX products, RC Model Shop understands that slipper pad wear is a normal part of RC ownership, especially when you're pushing your 4WD RC buggy or monster truck to its limits. This replacement pack contains two slipper pads, giving you the exact quantity needed to fully refresh your slipper clutch assembly or maintain spares for multiple track sessions.

These OEM FTX spare parts are manufactured to the same exacting standards as the original equipment fitted to your RC car, ensuring perfect compatibility and performance characteristics that you can rely on. Unlike generic aftermarket alternatives, these genuine FTX slipper pads deliver consistent engagement behaviour and reliable slip characteristics that protect your drivetrain components from catastrophic failure during high-speed driving or sudden load events.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM FTX Component — These are official FTX spare parts, not third-party copies, meaning they meet the exact specifications and quality standards set by the manufacturer for your specific RC vehicle model.
• Pack of Two Pads — This set includes two replacement slipper pads, which is the standard requirement for a complete slipper clutch refresh on compatible FTX models, eliminating the need to purchase multiple packs.
• Slipper Clutch Protection — The slipper pads work in conjunction with the slipper spring and gasket to provide controlled slip engagement, protecting your motor, transmission, and drivetrain from torque spikes and sudden shock loads during aggressive driving or when wheels lose traction.
• Compatible with Multiple Models — These pads work across a range of FTX 1/10 scale vehicles including the Vantage and Carnage lines, as well as the Banzai drift car, making them a versatile addition to any FTX RC car owner's spare parts collection.
• Easy Installation — FTX spare parts are engineered for straightforward fitment, allowing you to rebuild your slipper clutch assembly with confidence using standard RC car tools and without requiring specialist equipment or technical expertise.
• Affordable Maintenance — As noted by users with high-performance setups, these slipper pads are competitively priced, making regular maintenance and clutch rebuilds an affordable part of RC car ownership rather than an expensive burden.

Technical Performance

The slipper clutch system in FTX 1/10 scale RC cars represents a critical engineering solution for managing torque delivery and protecting drivetrain integrity. The slipper pads work as friction components within the slipper clutch assembly, creating a controlled slip interface that allows the drive cups to continue rotating relative to the spur gear when torque exceeds a predetermined threshold. This is particularly important in modern RC cars equipped with high-KV brushless motors that can generate tremendous torque output — these motors can easily destroy transmission gears, bearings, and other drivetrain components if there's no slip mechanism in place. The slipper pads are precision-engineered friction materials that must provide consistent engagement characteristics throughout their service life. As the pads wear through hours of use, they gradually lose their friction properties, which is why replacement becomes necessary. By installing fresh FTX slipper pads from this genuine pack, you restore the original slip characteristics that your vehicle was engineered to deliver, ensuring that your slipper clutch functions exactly as designed. This is especially critical for FTX Vantage and Carnage owners running brushless setups, where users have reported that high-performance 4000KV motors and similar aggressive powerplants will accelerate pad wear through intensive use. Regular slipper maintenance and pad replacement, combined with other slipper components like the gasket (FTX6268) and spring (FTX6271), ensures your RC car's drivetrain remains protected and performs reliably whether you're competing in timed events or simply enjoying casual bashing sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

• When do I need to replace my slipper pads on my FTX RC car? — Slipper pad wear is accelerated by high-performance driving, particularly with powerful brushless motors and extended track sessions. Signs that your pads need replacement include inconsistent slipper engagement, excessive slip during acceleration, or visible wear marks on the pads themselves when you inspect the clutch assembly. Users have reported that high-KV brushless setups like 4000KV motors can wear pads significantly during several hours of intensive use, so having spare pads on hand is essential for maintaining consistent performance.
• Are these pads compatible with my specific FTX model? — Yes, these genuine FTX pads (FTX6267) are designed for the FTX Vantage 2.0 Brushed Buggy, FTX Vantage 2.0 Brushless Buggy, FTX Carnage 2.0 Brushed Truck, FTX Carnage 2.0 Brushless Monster Truck, and FTX Banzai electric street drift cars. Always verify your model number against the compatibility list before ordering to ensure perfect fitment.
• Can I use aftermarket slipper pads instead of genuine FTX pads? — Whilst aftermarket alternatives may fit physically, genuine FTX pads are engineered to deliver the exact slip characteristics your vehicle was designed with. Using OEM pads ensures your slipper clutch functions exactly as intended and provides the protection your motor and transmission components require.
• How many pads do I need to replace my slipper clutch? — This pack contains two slipper pads, which is the correct quantity for a complete slipper clutch assembly in compatible FTX models. You may also wish to renew your gaskets (FTX6268) and check your spring (FTX6271) when performing a full slipper service for optimal results.
• Do I need special tools to install these pads? — No, FTX spare parts are designed for straightforward installation using standard RC car tools. You'll need basic screwdrivers and spanners to access the slipper clutch assembly and disassemble it, but no specialist equipment is required.
• Are these slipper pads suitable for beginners? — Slipper maintenance is an intermediate-level RC car skill, but it's entirely manageable for owners willing to follow instructions carefully. If you're not confident disassembling your slipper clutch, many local RC hobby shops can perform this service for you, or you can ask experienced members of your local RC community for guidance.
