Technical Performance
The FTX Rally MK2RS Diff O-ring is manufactured from high-quality elastomer material selected for its durability and resistance to differential fluid exposure. At 5mm in diameter with a 2mm cross-section, this o-ring is precision-engineered to create an effective seal within the differential housing of your 1/10th scale FTX MK2RS brushless rally car. The o-ring works in conjunction with your differential's housing to contain pressurised differential fluid, which is essential for proper torque distribution and smooth power delivery to both rear wheels. Without a functioning o-ring seal, differential fluid can leak out, leading to degraded performance, increased wear on internal differential components, and potential damage during high-speed driving or challenging terrain. The material composition ensures compatibility with standard RC differential fluids whilst maintaining elasticity across normal operating temperatures. This is a wear item that may need periodic replacement depending on your driving intensity and maintenance schedule, making it a sensible spare to keep available for your rally car.
