Overview
The FTX Ruffneck CVD Centre Driveshafts (PR) FTX11112 are precision-engineered replacement driveshafts designed specifically for the FTX Ruffneck 1/10 brushless 4WD trail truck. These centre driveshafts are essential drivetrain components that transmit power from your transmission to the wheels, making them critical for maintaining optimal performance and reliability during intense off-road adventures. Whether you're a dedicated RC trail enthusiast, a competitive basher, or someone who enjoys pushing their FTX Ruffneck to its limits on rocky terrain and challenging courses, having quality replacement driveshafts on hand ensures you can keep your vehicle running at peak performance.
CVD (Constant Velocity) driveshafts are the modern standard in RC vehicle design, offering superior flexibility and smoother power delivery compared to traditional rigid shafts. The FTX Ruffneck CVD Centre Driveshafts are manufactured to exacting OEM specifications, ensuring they integrate seamlessly with your existing Ruffneck drivetrain and maintain the vehicle's handling characteristics and responsiveness. If you own an FTX Ruffneck brushless RC truck and want to ensure you have reliable replacement parts available, these genuine FTX driveshafts are an excellent addition to your spares collection. RC model vehicles from UK retailers like RC Model Shop are built to deliver impressive performance, and maintaining them with quality parts like these ensures your investment continues to deliver thrilling performance on every drive.
FTX is a respected brand in the RC hobby community, known for producing quality 1/10 scale vehicles and genuine replacement parts that enthusiasts can rely on. The Ruffneck line is particularly popular for trail driving and off-road bashers who demand durability and consistent performance. Having genuine OEM replacement driveshafts means you're using the exact same engineering that came installed on your vehicle from the factory, giving you confidence that you're maintaining the integrity of your RC car.
Key Features
- CVD Driveshaft Technology — These constant velocity driveshafts allow for more flexible and efficient power transmission, meaning your FTX Ruffneck can tackle uneven terrain and extreme suspension articulation without binding or losing power delivery. CVD shafts are essential for modern trail trucks and crawlers that demand articulation.
- Centre Driveshaft Configuration — Specifically engineered as centre driveshafts (the shaft connecting the main transmission to the secondary gearbox), these parts are critical to your vehicle's overall drivetrain. The centre position experiences significant stress during hard driving, making quality replacements essential.
- OEM FTX Quality — Manufactured to the original equipment manufacturer specifications, these driveshafts maintain the exact performance characteristics and tolerances of your vehicle's original parts. This ensures perfect compatibility and maintains your Ruffneck's handling and responsiveness.
- Pair Configuration (PR) — The 'PR' designation indicates this is a pair of driveshafts, giving you complete coverage for replacing both centre driveshafts on your 4WD trail truck. Having a matched pair ensures balanced power delivery across all wheels.
- 4WD Compatibility — Designed specifically for the four-wheel drive FTX Ruffneck platform, these driveshafts work in harmony with your vehicle's 4WD drivetrain to deliver consistent torque and traction across all four wheels during trail driving and off-road adventures.
- Genuine Replacement Part — As a genuine FTX part with part number FTX11112, you're guaranteed authentic components that will fit perfectly and perform reliably. This is the same quality that comes installed on new FTX Ruffneck vehicles from UK RC retailers.
- Brushless Vehicle Compatibility — These driveshafts are engineered for use with the brushless motor-equipped Ruffneck models, which deliver higher power and performance compared to brushed alternatives, requiring robust drivetrain components like these.
Technical Performance
The FTX Ruffneck CVD Centre Driveshafts are manufactured from high-quality materials engineered to withstand the demands of 1/10 scale brushless RC driving. CVD driveshafts represent a significant advancement in RC vehicle engineering compared to traditional solid shafts, as they can flex and articulate during extreme suspension movement without compromising power delivery or causing binding. This technology is especially important for trail driving where rock crawling and uneven terrain can cause significant suspension articulation. The centre driveshaft position is particularly demanding as it must transmit power from the main transmission housing to the rest of the drivetrain whilst accommodating movement and flex from the suspension system. Built to OEM specifications, these driveshafts maintain the exact performance envelope designed into the FTX Ruffneck platform, ensuring your brushless motor's power is delivered efficiently to all four wheels. Whether you're running your Ruffneck in blue or orange variants (as specified in the compatibility list), these driveshafts provide the same reliable performance that made the Ruffneck a popular choice amongst UK RC enthusiasts who demand quality trail truck performance and durability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these genuine FTX parts for my Ruffneck? — Yes, these are genuine OEM parts manufactured by FTX to exact specifications. Part number FTX11112 ensures you're getting authentic components designed for perfect fit and compatibility with your FTX Ruffneck brushless 4WD trail truck.
- Will these fit my FTX Ruffneck 1/10 brushless 4WD trail truck? — These driveshafts are specifically designed for the FTX Ruffneck 1/10 brushless 4WD trail RTR models in both blue (FTX5472BL) and orange (FTX5472OR) variants. They are centre driveshafts, meaning they connect the main transmission to the secondary gearbox on your 4WD platform.
- Why would I need replacement driveshafts? — Driveshafts can be damaged through heavy bashing, rock crawling, extreme articulation, or general wear over time. Having quality replacements ensures you can keep your vehicle on the track instead of being sidelined waiting for parts. For serious RC enthusiasts in the UK, having spares on hand is just practical vehicle maintenance.
- What's the difference between CVD and standard driveshafts? — CVD (Constant Velocity) driveshafts allow for more flexible power transmission and can handle extreme suspension angles without binding. Standard rigid shafts can cause power loss or breakage during radical articulation. For a trail truck like the Ruffneck designed for off-road terrain, CVD shafts are essential technology.
- Is this a pair or single driveshaft? — The 'PR' designation means this is a pair (two driveshafts), so you're getting both centre driveshafts you need for your 4WD Ruffneck in one purchase, which is more economical than buying singles separately.
- How often should I replace driveshafts? — The lifespan depends on your driving style and conditions. Heavy bashing and rock crawling will wear driveshafts faster than casual driving. Many RC enthusiasts keep replacement driveshafts in their spares box as part of routine maintenance for vehicles they drive regularly.
