Technical Performance
The FTX Rokatan 40T Crown Gear is a precision-engineered differential component manufactured to exacting standards to ensure seamless integration with FTX drivetrain assemblies. Crown gears function as part of the spur and pinion gear system, transferring rotational power from the motor shaft to the axle shafts at the correct mechanical advantage. The 40-tooth configuration has been selected by FTX engineers to provide the optimal balance between acceleration and top speed characteristics across the range of vehicles listed as compatible. In the context of 1/10 scale RC trucks and buggies like the Apache 2.0 brushless trophy truck, Crossbow brushless truggy, and Ramraider brushless monster truck, this crown gear works in conjunction with the motor's KV rating and battery voltage to produce the final drive characteristics. Whether powering the Apache 2.0's brushless motor setup, the Crossbow's truggy platform, or the Ramraider monster truck's aggressive drivetrain, this crown gear maintains precise engagement and transmits power efficiently to the wheels. The gear's tooth profile is manufactured to close tolerances, ensuring minimal backlash and smooth operation. As an essential drivetrain component, this crown gear is subject to significant wear during regular use, particularly in high-performance applications or when driving on abrasive surfaces. Keeping a spare crown gear in your RC toolkit ensures you can quickly return your vehicle to action if the original requires replacement due to wear or damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which FTX models use the FTX10102 crown gear? — The FTX Rokatan 40T Crown Gear is compatible with the FTX Apache 2.0 brushless trophy truck (both red and blue variants), FTX Crossbow brushless truggy (both green and blue variants), and FTX Ramraider brushless monster truck (red/blue and green/blue variants), as well as the brushed Ramraider editions. If you own any of these FTX RC models, this is the correct replacement crown gear for your vehicle.
- When should I replace my crown gear? — Crown gears should be inspected regularly for wear, chipping, or stripped teeth. Signs that replacement is needed include grinding noises from the differential, loss of drive power, or visible damage to the gear teeth. Many RC enthusiasts replace crown gears as part of regular maintenance after 20-30 hours of driving, or immediately if damage is noticed.
- Is this suitable for both brushless and brushed FTX models? — Yes, this crown gear is compatible with both the brushless editions of the Apache 2.0, Crossbow, and Ramraider, as well as the brushed Ramraider variants. The crown gear itself does not change based on motor type; the difference is in the motor and ESC components, not the drivetrain gears.
- What is a crown gear and why does it matter? — A crown gear is a conical gear that forms part of the bevel gear pair in the differential assembly. It receives power from the spur gear (driven by the motor) and transmits it to the axle shafts at a 90-degree angle, allowing the wheels to rotate and the vehicle to move. The crown gear is a critical component for power transmission, and if it becomes damaged or worn, your RC car may lose drive or make grinding noises.
- Can I use this crown gear in other brands of RC cars? — No, this is an FTX-specific component engineered for FTX vehicle platforms. Using non-compatible gears can result in poor fit, improper engagement, and potential damage to your drivetrain. Always use genuine OEM parts specified for your vehicle.
- Where can I buy genuine FTX spare parts in the UK? — RC Model Shop stocks a comprehensive range of genuine FTX spare parts and hop-up components. All parts are sourced directly from FTX or authorised distributors, ensuring authenticity and compatibility with your FTX RC vehicle.
