Overview

The FTX Tracer Front and Rear Driveshafts (FTX9714) are genuine OEM replacement drivetrain components designed specifically for the FTX Tracer 1/16 scale RC monster truck and truggy range.

For anyone serious about RC off-road driving in the UK, maintaining a spare set of driveshafts is a practical investment that keeps your monster truck or truggy in top condition.

RC Model Shop stocks genuine FTX parts for all versions of the Tracer range, including the standard 4WD monster truck, the brushless performance variants, and the truggy configuration. Our expert team understands the demands placed on RC drivetrain components during high-speed bashing and technical rock crawling, which is why we exclusively stock authentic FTX replacement parts that meet factory specifications.

Technical Performance

The FTX Tracer Front and Rear Driveshafts represent precision engineering designed for the demands of 1/16 scale off-road RC driving. These components are manufactured to exact OEM tolerances, ensuring seamless integration with your FTX Tracer's transmission, differential, and wheel hub assembly. The driveshaft assembly plays a critical role in delivering rotational power from your vehicle's motor through the transmission system to the front and rear axles, while simultaneously accommodating the suspension movement as your RC monster truck or truggy bounces over obstacles, jumps, and rough terrain. Whether you're running the standard brushed motor configuration or the high-performance brushless variants available in the Tracer range (such as the brushless models in yellow, blue, and red), these driveshafts are engineered to handle consistent power delivery without slippage or vibration. The materials and construction methods employed in these parts reflect FTX's commitment to durability and performance, particularly important when driving at speed on challenging UK terrain or competing in RC events. Regular maintenance and occasional replacement of driveshafts is a standard aspect of responsible RC vehicle ownership, and keeping genuine FTX parts ensures your Tracer maintains its factory performance characteristics and reliability.
