Technical Performance

The FTX Havok Cast Metal Pinions and Spur Gear represent a significant step up in drivetrain durability and performance reliability. Cast metal construction provides exceptional strength compared to plastic alternatives, which is particularly important in high-performance drift applications where the drivetrain experiences continuous acceleration, deceleration, and torque loads. The precision engineering of these gears ensures that the tooth profiles maintain tight tolerances, delivering efficient power transmission from your Havok's motor through to the wheels with minimal slippage or energy loss. For owners of the FTX Havok Drift Truck 1/14th 4WD RTR (available in striking blue and yellow finishes) and the FTX Havok Drift Roadster 1/14th 4WD RTR (likewise offered in vibrant blue and yellow colour options), these cast metal components provide the mechanical foundation for reliable, responsive driving dynamics. The material composition ensures resistance to wear, stripping, and the kind of premature failure that plastic gears often experience under sustained load. Whether you're putting your RC drift car through aggressive training sessions, competing in local UK RC events, or simply enjoying regular weekend bashing, these gears will maintain their integrity and performance characteristics through extended use. The smooth meshing action reduces vibration and noise transmission through the chassis, contributing to a more refined driving experience and allowing you to maintain better control during precision drift manoeuvres.

Metal gears also provide smoother power delivery and reduced noise during operation.
• How often do I need to replace these gears? — With proper maintenance and care, cast metal gears typically last considerably longer than plastic alternatives. The frequency of replacement depends on your driving style, terrain conditions, and maintenance routine. Regular inspection and lubrication will extend the lifespan of these components significantly.
• Are these gears difficult to install? — No, these gears are designed as direct replacements for the factory components in your Havok drivetrain. If you have basic RC maintenance skills, you should be able to install these gears without difficulty. Consult your Havok's manual for detailed installation guidance, or contact our expert team for support.
• What is the difference between these cast metal gears and plastic alternatives? — Cast metal gears are engineered from durable metal alloys that provide superior strength, wear resistance, and longevity. Plastic gears are lighter but more prone to stripping, cracking, and premature wear under load. For serious RC enthusiasts and competitors, metal gears deliver better reliability and performance consistency.
• Can I use these gears if I've modified my Havok's motor or drivetrain? — These gears are designed as OEM replacement parts for the standard FTX Havok configuration.
