Overview
The FTX Rokatan Rear Wheel Axle (FTX10138) is an essential drivetrain spare part designed for the FTX Rokatan 1/10 scale RC crawler and compatible monster truck models. Whether you are maintaining your existing RC car UK setup or rebuilding after an off-road adventure, this genuine OEM replacement axle ensures your rear wheel assembly performs reliably on any terrain. This component is purpose-built for durability and precision, making it an ideal choice for RC enthusiasts who demand quality spares that match factory specifications.
As an authorised FTX spare part, the Rokatan Rear Wheel Axle is engineered to deliver consistent performance across a range of compatible brushless and brushed RC monster truck models. From the FTX Crossbow 1/10 Brushless Truggy to the FTX Ramraider 1/10 Monster Truck models, this axle assembly integrates seamlessly into your drivetrain system. Whether you are a casual weekend basher or someone who regularly maintains their ready to run RC vehicle, having genuine OEM spares on hand is crucial for minimising downtime and keeping your RC experience enjoyable.
The rear wheel axle is a critical component in the drivetrain assembly, responsible for supporting wheel rotation and transferring power from the differential to the rear wheels. A worn or damaged axle can compromise handling, reduce traction, and create unwanted vibration during operation. By choosing the genuine FTX Rokatan Rear Wheel Axle, you are investing in a part that has been tested and verified by the manufacturer to work in perfect harmony with the rest of your RC car's drivetrain system.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Component — This is an authentic FTX factory spare part manufactured to exact specifications, ensuring compatibility and reliability that third-party alternatives cannot guarantee. Using genuine spares protects your RC vehicle's performance and longevity.
- Designed for Rokatan and Compatible Models — The axle is engineered specifically for the FTX Rokatan 1/10 scale crawler platform, and is also compatible with the FTX Crossbow Brushless Truggy and FTX Ramraider Monster Truck models, giving you broad coverage across multiple RC car platforms.
- Drivetrain Optimised — As part of the drivetrain system, this axle is precision-manufactured to maintain accurate wheel alignment, support the weight of your RC vehicle during off-road driving, and sustain repeated impacts without premature wear or failure.
- Easy Installation — The axle integrates directly into your existing rear hub carrier assembly without requiring special tools or extensive mechanical knowledge, making it suitable for hobbyists performing their own RC maintenance and repairs.
- Improved Handling and Stability — A properly functioning rear axle contributes to improved handling characteristics, better wheel tracking, and more predictable steering response, especially when navigating uneven terrain or high-speed runs.
- Cost-Effective Spares Strategy — By replacing only the damaged component rather than entire assemblies, you save money whilst maintaining the performance standards your RC vehicle deserves.
Technical Performance
The FTX Rokatan Rear Wheel Axle is engineered as a critical drivetrain component that supports the rear wheel assembly in 1/10 scale RC vehicles. Built to withstand the stresses of off-road driving, this axle is designed to integrate with the Rokatan's differential system and rear suspension geometry. The part has been manufactured to factory tolerances, ensuring smooth wheel rotation and reliable power transmission from the differential gearbox to the rear wheels. The axle supports both brushless and brushed motor configurations used across compatible FTX models including the Crossbow Brushless Truggy and the Ramraider Monster Truck platform. Its construction is optimised for durability during high-impact terrain driving, whether you are cruising on grass, dirt, or rocky surfaces. Proper axle function is essential for maintaining vehicle stability, preventing excessive play in the rear wheel hubs, and ensuring consistent handling characteristics across different driving conditions. The rear wheel axle works in concert with the rear hub carrier and suspension arm components to create a robust rear axle assembly that can endure repeated impacts and stress cycles typical of RC hobby driving.

Check your model number against this list before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
- When should I replace my rear wheel axle? — You should consider replacing your rear axle if you notice excessive play in the rear wheel hubs, visible bending or cracks in the axle shaft, or if your RC vehicle pulls to one side consistently despite suspension adjustments. Regular inspection during maintenance is recommended, especially if you frequently drive over rocky or obstacle-filled terrain.
- Is this a genuine FTX spare part? — Yes, the FTX10138 is an authentic OEM (original equipment manufacturer) spare part produced by FTX. Purchasing genuine spares ensures compatibility, reliability, and the performance characteristics your vehicle was designed to deliver.
- Do I need special tools to install this axle? — Installation typically requires basic hex keys and small hand tools commonly used in RC maintenance. Most hobbyists can complete the installation themselves by removing the wheel hub, sliding out the old axle, and inserting the new one. Refer to your vehicle's assembly guide for detailed steps.
- What is the difference between this rear axle and other RC drivetrain components? — The rear wheel axle is a shaft component specifically designed to support and rotate the rear wheel hubs. It differs from the differential outdrive (which connects to the differential case) and the driveshaft (which transfers power from the motor through the transmission). Each component plays a distinct role in the overall drivetrain system.
