Technical Performance
The FTX Rally Diff Planetary Gear FTX11349 is an internal drivetrain component that forms part of the differential assembly in the FTX MK2RS 1/10th scale brushless rally car. The differential is engineered to allow the drive wheels to rotate at different speeds during cornering while maintaining power delivery to both wheels during acceleration and deceleration. The planetary gear system within the differential is precision-manufactured to exacting tolerances, enabling smooth torque distribution and responsive handling characteristics that rally drivers expect from their vehicles. This component works in conjunction with the main differential gears and shaft to create the complex but necessary mechanical advantage that separates high-performance RC cars from basic models. The gear's durability and precision engineering ensure consistent performance lap after lap, whether you're running casual weekend bash sessions or competitive timed trials. When planetary gears become worn or damaged through normal use, replacement with genuine FTX parts guarantees that your differential will continue to function as originally engineered, maintaining the handling balance and driveability that makes the MK2RS such a capable platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which FTX models is the FTX11349 planetary gear compatible with? — This planetary gear is specifically designed for the FTX MK2RS 1/10th brushless rally car, available in both white (FTX5470W) and black (FTX5470BK) colour variants. It is not compatible with other FTX model ranges.
- How do I know if my FTX MK2RS needs a replacement planetary gear? — Signs that your differential planetary gear may need replacement include inconsistent handling, difficulty turning corners smoothly, grinding noises from the differential area, or visible damage to the gear teeth when you service your differential. Regular maintenance and inspection of drivetrain components helps catch wear before it affects performance.
- What tools and knowledge do I need to replace the planetary gear? — Replacing differential components requires access to your FTX MK2RS user manual and basic RC car maintenance tools such as hex keys, screwdrivers, and potentially a differential maintenance kit. Many RC enthusiasts complete this service themselves, though some prefer to have experienced technicians handle differential work to ensure proper reassembly and adjustment.
- Is this a genuine FTX part or an aftermarket alternative? — This is a genuine FTX manufactured component, not a third-party alternative. Genuine parts ensure perfect fitment, reliable performance, and longevity in your MK2RS platform.
- How often should I replace or maintain my differential planetary gear? — The lifespan of a planetary gear depends entirely on your driving style, track conditions, and maintenance routine. Aggressive racing and high-speed bashing will accelerate wear faster than gentle recreational driving. Regular differential servicing, proper lubrication, and inspection help extend component life significantly.
- Can I use this part on other RC cars? — No, this is a model-specific component engineered exclusively for the FTX MK2RS. Attempting to use it on other vehicles may result in poor fitment, damaged components, or vehicle damage.
