Key Features
- Genuine FTX Original Component — This is not an aftermarket imitation or third-party alternative; it is the authentic factory-original rear shaft manufactured by FTX. Genuine parts ensure perfect compatibility, optimal performance and longevity that budget alternatives cannot provide.
- 46mm Precision Length — The carefully engineered 46mm dimension is specifically calculated to work perfectly with the FTX MK2RS drivetrain geometry. This precise length ensures correct driveshaft angles, smooth power delivery and minimised vibration during rally racing.
- Designed for the FTX MK2RS 1/10th Rally Car — This component is engineered exclusively for the MK2RS platform and will not fit other FTX rally models. This specificity guarantees that every aspect of the shaft's design—from material composition to tolerance specifications—matches the original equipment exactly.
- Brushless Rally Car Compatibility — The FTX MK2RS is powered by brushless electric motor technology for consistent performance and minimal maintenance. This rear shaft is optimised for the torque characteristics and RPM ranges typical of brushless rally racing setups.
- Easy Installation — As a genuine OEM part, the FTX Rally rear shaft requires no modification or special tools to install. It simply drops into place, reconnecting your drivetrain with factory-correct fit and finish.

Technical Performance
The FTX Rally MK2RS Rear Shaft is manufactured to the exacting standards required for competitive rally racing at 1/10th scale. The 46mm length has been precisely calculated to maintain proper driveshaft alignment within the MK2RS chassis, ensuring smooth torque delivery from the brushless motor through the gearbox and differential to the rear wheels. Rally racing demands exceptional precision in drivetrain components because even slight misalignment or wear can introduce vibration, reduce efficiency and compromise handling. The rear shaft's engineering ensures that power is transmitted cleanly and efficiently, allowing the brushless motor to deliver its full performance potential without energy loss or stress on adjacent drivetrain components. The material composition and surface finish of this OEM component have been selected specifically to provide durability under the demanding conditions of rally motorsport—including rapid acceleration, cornering forces and frequent directional changes. This genuine FTX part is the factory-approved solution for maintaining or restoring your MK2RS to its original performance specification.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which FTX Rally models will this rear shaft fit? — This 46mm rear shaft is designed specifically for the FTX MK2RS 1/10th Brushless Rally Car, available in both white (FTX5470W) and black (FTX5470BK) variants. It is not compatible with other FTX rally models, as each platform uses differently sized components optimised for its specific chassis geometry and performance characteristics.
- Is this a genuine FTX part or an aftermarket replacement? — This is a genuine factory-original FTX component, not an aftermarket alternative. Choosing the genuine part ensures perfect compatibility, optimal performance and the reliability that comes with manufacturer-backed quality assurance. OEM parts are always the recommended choice for critical drivetrain components.
- When should I replace the rear shaft on my FTX MK2RS? — You should consider replacing the rear shaft if you notice vibration during operation, visible wear or damage to the shaft itself, or if your vehicle has experienced a significant impact to the drivetrain area. Regular inspection during maintenance routines will help you identify when replacement becomes necessary. Many competitive racers also perform preventative maintenance by replacing wear-prone components periodically to ensure consistent performance.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is a replacement spare part designed for those who already own an FTX MK2RS rally car. If you are a beginner considering a brushless rally RC car UK purchase, the complete MK2RS Ready to Run kit is an excellent choice. This particular component is best suited to owners performing maintenance or repairs rather than complete beginners setting up their first vehicle.
- Do I need any special tools to install this rear shaft? — As a genuine OEM component, this rear shaft should install straightforwardly without requiring special tools or modification. However, we recommend consulting the official FTX MK2RS assembly documentation or installation guide to ensure correct installation procedure. If you are unsure about installation, our experienced RC team at RC Model Shop is happy to provide guidance.
- What is the difference between the MK2RS and other FTX rally models? — The MK2RS represents the latest generation of FTX's 1/10th rally platform, incorporating brushless electric motor technology for consistent performance and low maintenance compared to earlier models. Different FTX rally generations use different drivetrain component sizes, so it is essential to use parts specifically designed for your model to ensure proper fit and performance.
