Overview
The FTX Rally Driveshaft Cap Joint FTX11334 is an essential replacement spare part designed specifically for the FTX MK2RS 1/10th brushless rally car. This precision-engineered component is a critical element of your rally car's drivetrain, ensuring smooth power delivery and reliable performance during competitive racing or recreational driving. Whether you're an experienced RC enthusiast looking for genuine FTX spares or a newer hobbyist maintaining your ready to run RC car UK, this driveshaft cap joint is the perfect replacement when wear or damage occurs.
As an authorised FTX spare part, the FTX11334 is manufactured to the exact specifications required for the MK2RS platform, guaranteeing perfect fitment and optimal performance. The driveshaft cap joint plays a vital role in connecting and securing the driveshaft assembly, allowing rotational movement whilst maintaining structural integrity under acceleration, braking and cornering forces. This is the smaller capacity option in the FTX driveshaft cap joint range, making it the correct choice for your specific MK2RS model. When your existing driveshaft cap joint becomes worn, damaged or loose, replacing it with a genuine FTX component ensures your rally car continues to perform at its best on track or off-road.
Rally racing demands precision engineering and reliable components that can withstand high torque loads and repeated stress cycles. The FTX MK2RS is a 1/10th scale brushless rally car that combines performance and durability, and every spare part plays a role in maintaining that reliability. Stocking genuine FTX spares like this driveshaft cap joint means you're always prepared for maintenance or repairs, keeping your RC car UK ready to compete or bash whenever you choose.

Technical Performance
The FTX Rally Driveshaft Cap Joint is a precision-machined component engineered to withstand the demanding requirements of 1/10th scale rally racing. The driveshaft cap joint functions as the secure attachment point that couples the driveshaft to the differential or gearbox, transmitting rotational force from your brushless motor through the drivetrain to the wheels. This component must reliably handle continuous acceleration loads, sudden braking forces, and the torsional stresses that occur during tight cornering at high speeds. The engineering ensures minimal play or wobbling whilst maintaining the precise alignment necessary for efficient power transfer. As part of the FTX MK2RS system, this spare part is manufactured from durable materials designed to resist wear from repeated engagement and disengagement cycles, temperature variations, and the vibration inherent in rally car operation. The compact size of this particular cap joint is specifically matched to the proportions and geometry of the MK2RS platform, ensuring it integrates perfectly with the existing driveshaft assembly and maintains the correct clearances around surrounding components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a driveshaft cap joint and why would I need to replace it? — The driveshaft cap joint is the connector piece that securely fastens the driveshaft to the differential or gearbox, allowing rotational movement whilst maintaining alignment. Over time, through normal use, racing impacts, or accidental crashes, this component can become worn, cracked, or loose. Replacing it restores proper power transmission and prevents driveshaft wobbling or misalignment that could damage other drivetrain components.
- Is this the correct driveshaft cap joint for my FTX MK2RS? — Yes, the FTX11334 is specifically designed for the FTX MK2RS 1/10th brushless rally car. FTX produces multiple driveshaft cap joint options in their spare parts range (such as the FTX11332), so it's important to verify you have the correct model number for your vehicle. Always check your car's documentation or contact our expert team if you're unsure which component you need.
- How often should I replace my driveshaft cap joint? — The lifespan of a driveshaft cap joint depends on your driving habits and conditions. Aggressive racing, frequent crashes, and regular high-speed use will wear components faster than casual recreational driving. Inspect your cap joint regularly for cracks, excessive wear, or looseness. If you notice any play in the driveshaft or hear clicking sounds during acceleration, it's time to replace the cap joint.
- Can I use a different FTX driveshaft cap joint on my MK2RS? — No, each FTX model and driveshaft configuration requires its specific cap joint design. Using an incompatible part could result in improper fitment, misalignment, or damage to your drivetrain. Always purchase the exact model number recommended for your vehicle to ensure perfect compatibility.
