This precision-engineered transmission gear is manufactured by FTX, a trusted name in RC car design and engineering, and is specifically designed to optimise the drivetrain performance of your Gladius model. Whether you're looking to replace a worn gear, upgrade your RC car UK setup for better acceleration or top speed, or simply maintain your vehicle in peak condition, this 24-tooth transmission gear offers the perfect solution for RC enthusiasts across the United Kingdom.
As part of FTX's comprehensive spares and hop-up programme, the Gladius Transmission Gear 24T allows you to fine-tune your RC car's performance characteristics without needing to purchase an entirely new vehicle. This component is ideal for bashers, racers, and weekend warriors who want to get the most out of their brushless or brushed RC car. The availability of multiple tooth configurations (18T, 24T, 27T, 30T, and 36T) within the Gladius transmission range means that tuning your gearing is straightforward and accessible, making performance upgrades achievable for hobbyists of all experience levels.
The 24-tooth configuration strikes an excellent balance between acceleration and top-end speed, making it a popular choice for drivers who want responsive performance across a variety of terrain and driving conditions. Whether you're running on tarmac, grass, or loose surfaces, this transmission gear delivers consistent, reliable engagement with your drivetrain, ensuring that power from your motor is efficiently transferred to the wheels.
Key Features
- Precision 24-Tooth Design — The 24-tooth configuration provides an ideal balance between low-end torque and high-end speed capability, ensuring your FTX Gladius responds quickly to throttle input whilst maintaining adequate top-speed potential for open driving sessions.
- OEM FTX Quality Manufacturing — Built to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) standards by FTX, this gear is engineered to precise tolerances and specifications to ensure flawless meshing with your transmission box and compatible drivetrain components.
- Direct Replacement Component — This gear is a genuine FTX spare part, meaning it is a direct replacement for the original Gladius transmission gear, ensuring perfect fit and reliable performance without compatibility concerns.
- Part of Complete Tuning Range — FTX offers this gear alongside 18T, 27T, 30T, and 36T variants, allowing you to systematically tune your RC car's performance profile to match your driving style and preferred terrain.
- Essential Maintenance Item — Regular use of your FTX Gladius will eventually wear transmission gears; keeping spare gears in your RC toolbox ensures you can quickly get back on the track or field without extended downtime.
- Affordable Performance Upgrade — At a competitive price point, this transmission gear represents excellent value for money when upgrading or maintaining your RC car UK collection.
Technical Performance
The FTX Gladius Transmission Gear 24T is engineered from high-strength materials chosen specifically to withstand the stresses of repeated acceleration, deceleration, and directional changes inherent in RC car operation. The 24-tooth count positions this gear in the mid-range of FTX's transmission offerings, making it suitable for drivers seeking balanced performance. Higher tooth-count gears (such as the 27T, 30T, or 36T variants) provide more top-end speed but sacrifice acceleration, whilst lower tooth-count options (18T) deliver snappier acceleration at the cost of maximum velocity. The 24T represents a sweet spot that works well across diverse driving scenarios, from competitive racing to casual bashing. The gear's precision manufacturing ensures minimal backlash and maximum efficiency in power transmission, critical factors that directly impact your vehicle's responsiveness and battery runtime. Whether your FTX Gladius is equipped with a brushless or brushed motor, compatible with 2S or 3S LiPo batteries, or running a specific ESC configuration, this transmission gear integrates seamlessly into the existing drivetrain architecture. The robust construction of FTX's transmission components means that even under demanding driving conditions—high-speed cornering, rapid acceleration, or aggressive off-road use—the gear maintains its structural integrity and meshing characteristics, delivering consistent performance session after session.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What tooth count should I choose for my FTX Gladius transmission gear? — FTX offers five tooth configurations: 18T, 24T, 27T, 30T, and 36T. The 24T provides balanced performance across acceleration and top speed. Choose lower counts (18T) for maximum acceleration, or higher counts (27T, 30T, 36T) if you prioritise top-end speed and want to reduce strain on your motor during high-speed running.
- Will this 24T gear fit my FTX Gladius model? — Yes, the FTX Gladius Transmission Gear 24T (FTX10734) is a genuine OEM spare part designed specifically for the FTX Gladius and is engineered to fit the Gladius transmission box perfectly without modification.
- How often should I replace my transmission gear? — Transmission gear wear depends on driving intensity, terrain, and maintenance practices. Keeping spare gears available ensures you can quickly swap in a fresh component when you notice degraded performance, loss of efficiency, or visible wear patterns on existing gears.
- What is the difference between the 24T and other gear tooth counts? — The 24T gear is positioned mid-range in the FTX Gladius transmission lineup. The 18T and 30T options (also priced at £6.25) provide alternative tuning options, whilst the 27T and 36T variants (priced at £9.25) offer further performance customisation. Lower tooth counts increase acceleration response, whilst higher counts favour top-end speed but may increase motor load.
- Is this a genuine FTX part? — Yes, this is an official FTX spare part manufactured to OEM specifications and specifications, ensuring authentic quality and perfect compatibility with your FTX Gladius RC car.
- Can I use this gear with different ESC or motor combinations? — The transmission gear itself is independent of motor or ESC choice; it will work with any compatible motor and speed controller setup in your FTX Gladius. Your motor type and ESC rating do not affect gear compatibility.
