The FTX Diff Drive Gear w/Pin 2 Sets is an essential replacement drivetrain component designed for a comprehensive range of FTX RC vehicles. This spare part is specifically engineered for models including the FTX Vantage, FTX Carnage, FTX Outlaw, and FTX Banzai, making it a crucial part to have on hand for any serious RC car enthusiast in the UK. Whether you are running a brushed or brushless RC buggy, truck, or drift car, these differential gears are fundamental to maintaining optimal performance and reliability on the track or off-road.
Differential gears are at the heart of any four-wheel drive RC vehicle's drivetrain system, allowing the wheels to rotate at different speeds when cornering whilst still providing power to all four wheels. The FTX Diff Drive Gear w/Pin 2 Sets provides two complete sets, giving you spare components for replacement or upgrade purposes. This is particularly valuable for RC enthusiasts who regularly bash their vehicles, participate in competitions, or simply want to keep spare parts readily available to minimise downtime. FTX is a recognised manufacturer within the RC hobby community, producing durable and reliable components that perform consistently across a wide range of driving conditions.
If you own any FTX 1/10 scale RC vehicle—whether it is a 4WD buggy, stadium truck, or drift car—having quality replacement differential gears ensures your vehicle continues to perform at its best. These gears experience wear and stress during normal operation, particularly in aggressive driving or high-speed cornering situations. By stocking this genuine FTX spare part, you can keep your RC car UK-ready and maintain peak performance whenever you need it.

Technical Performance
The FTX Diff Drive Gear w/Pin 2 Sets represents professional-grade drivetrain engineering designed specifically for the demanding requirements of 1/10 scale RC vehicles. Differential gears function as the core component that allows power distribution to the wheels whilst accommodating different rotational speeds during cornering manoeuvres. This is absolutely critical for 4WD RC buggies, trucks, and drift cars that require smooth, responsive handling and consistent traction. The gears are manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure they mesh perfectly with the existing drivetrain components in your FTX vehicle. The inclusion of pins in this package ensures you have all the fastening hardware required for proper installation. These gears experience considerable stress during normal operation—particularly in aggressive driving situations, high-speed cornering, and rough terrain bashings—which is why having quality replacement parts available is essential. The durability of OEM FTX components ensures reliable performance across a wide range of driving styles and conditions, from casual weekend bashing to more competitive recreational driving.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which FTX RC car models are compatible with the FTX Diff Drive Gear w/Pin 2 Sets? — These gears are specifically designed for the FTX Vantage, FTX Carnage, FTX Outlaw, and FTX Banzai models. The package is compatible with both brushed and brushless versions of these vehicles, as well as various other FTX 1/10 scale models that utilise the same drivetrain configuration. Always verify your specific model number before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
- How often should I replace the differential gears in my RC vehicle? — The frequency of replacement depends on your driving style and intensity. Casual bashers may only need to replace gears every several months or longer, whilst competitive drivers or those who engage in aggressive driving may need replacements more frequently. Regular inspection of your gears during maintenance is recommended; if you notice grinding sounds, slipping, or reduced responsiveness, it is time to replace them.
- Do these gears come with everything I need for installation? — Yes, this package includes two complete sets of differential drive gears along with the necessary pins for installation. However, you should ensure you have appropriate tools for removing and installing the differential assembly if you are not familiar with the process. Many RC enthusiasts find it helpful to consult their vehicle's manual or watch installation tutorials before attempting the replacement.
- What is the difference between differential gears and spur gears in RC vehicles? — Differential gears and spur gears serve completely different functions in your RC vehicle's drivetrain. Spur gears are the main gear components that transfer power from the motor to the transmission, whilst differential gears allow the wheels to rotate at different speeds during cornering whilst still receiving power. Both are essential components, and both may occasionally require replacement depending on wear patterns.
- Are these genuine FTX components or aftermarket alternatives? — These are genuine OEM FTX components manufactured to the exact specifications required for your vehicle. Using genuine parts ensures perfect compatibility, optimal performance, and reliability. Aftermarket alternatives may offer cost savings but may not provide the same level of precision fit and durability.
- Can I use these gears with other RC brands or vehicles? — These gears are specifically engineered for FTX vehicles and their unique drivetrain specifications. Using them with other brands or incompatible models could result in poor fit, performance issues, or potential drivetrain damage. Always use components specifically designed for your vehicle model.
