Overview
The FTX Rokatan Centre Driveshaft (FTX10128) is an essential drivetrain spare part designed for FTX RC models. This centre driveshaft is a critical component in the transmission system of compatible FTX vehicles, engineered to deliver reliable power transfer from the motor to the wheels. Whether you are maintaining your existing RC car UK setup or building up a replacement drivetrain, this genuine FTX spare part ensures your model continues to perform at its best. The Rokatan Centre Driveshaft is manufactured to OEM specifications, guaranteeing perfect compatibility and durability for extended off-road adventures.
If you own an FTX Apache 2.0 brushless trophy truck, FTX Crossbow brushless truggy truck, or another compatible FTX model, keeping spare drivetrain components on hand is essential for any serious hobbyist. The centre driveshaft is one of the key parts that can wear over time with heavy use, particularly during competitive racing or aggressive bashing sessions. This replacement part allows you to quickly restore full performance without waiting for repairs or experiencing downtime on race day.
RC Model Shop stocks this part in the UK and ships it fast to your door, giving you peace of mind that you have genuine FTX spares available whenever you need them. As an authorised FTX dealer, we guarantee authenticity and full compatibility with your model.
Key Features
- Genuine FTX OEM Component — This is an original equipment manufacturer part from FTX, meaning it meets exact factory specifications and quality standards for perfect fitment every single time you install it, with no compatibility issues or modifications needed.
- Centre Driveshaft Design — The centre driveshaft is the main transmission component that transfers rotational power from your motor through the gearbox to both axles, making it one of the most important parts for maintaining acceleration and power delivery to your wheels.
- Compatible with Multiple FTX Models — This spare fits the FTX Apache 2.0 1/10 brushless trophy truck (both blue and red versions) and the FTX Crossbow 1/10 brushless truggy truck (available in blue and green), providing excellent parts compatibility across different FTX platforms.
- Essential Maintenance Part — Over time and with regular use, centre driveshafts can experience wear, bending, or damage from impacts during off-road driving, making this a critical replacement part to keep in your spare parts box for any serious RC enthusiast in the UK.
- Quick Installation — This is a straightforward drivetrain component to install, requiring only basic tools and mechanical knowledge, making it suitable for intermediate RC builders and hobbyists who perform their own maintenance and upgrades.
Technical Performance
The FTX Rokatan Centre Driveshaft represents the engineering quality you expect from FTX, a manufacturer recognised for producing durable and reliable RC vehicles and spares across their entire range. As a drivetrain component, this centre driveshaft must withstand significant rotational forces, shock loads from impacts, and the constant transmission of motor power to the wheels. The part is designed to work seamlessly within the transmission system of brushless-powered FTX models like the Apache 2.0 and Crossbow, which are capable of impressive speeds and acceleration with modern brushless motors and lithium polymer batteries. The precision engineering ensures minimal backlash and maximum power transfer efficiency, which directly translates to better handling, faster acceleration response, and more predictable driving characteristics during both casual bashing and competitive racing. Whether you are running a 3S or higher capacity LiPo battery through your FTX brushless truck, this centre driveshaft maintains the integrity of your drivetrain and supports the full performance potential of your vehicle without slipping or breaking under load.
