Key Features
- Spring Steel Construction — The driveshafts are manufactured from spring steel, a material specifically chosen for its combination of strength and flexibility, ensuring they can handle the stresses of rally driving whilst resisting breakage during high-speed power delivery and aggressive cornering.
- Universal Design — These universal driveshafts are engineered to be compatible across multiple configurations of the FTX MK2RS 1/10th brushless rally car platform, making them a versatile replacement option that works with different setups and drivetrain configurations.
- Sold as a Pair — Each package includes two driveshafts, providing a complete front or rear axle replacement, which means you can restore full drivetrain performance with a single purchase rather than buying multiple single units.
- OEM Quality — As genuine FTX spares, these driveshafts are manufactured to original specifications by FTX, ensuring perfect fitment, durability, and performance characteristics that match your vehicle's design and engineering standards.
- Perfect Replacement Component — Whether your original driveshafts have worn out through extended use or suffered damage during aggressive driving, these replacements restore your rally car to factory specifications and performance levels.

Technical Performance
Spring steel driveshafts represent a significant step up from basic plastic components, offering the kind of durability and performance consistency that serious RC drivers demand. The spring steel material provides an optimal balance between rigidity and flexibility — rigid enough to transmit power efficiently from motor to wheels without excessive flex, yet flexible enough to absorb shock loads and vibration that occur during high-speed cornering, jumps, and aggressive acceleration. This engineering approach is crucial for rally racing, where maintaining traction and precise power delivery through complex terrain makes the difference between winning and crashing. The universal design means these driveshafts work across the full range of FTX MK2RS configurations, giving drivers flexibility in their setup choices without worrying about drivetrain compatibility. The manufacturing tolerances and quality control standards applied to these OEM components ensure consistent performance from the first use through extended racing seasons. For 1/10th scale brushless rally cars operating with the kind of torque and power delivery these vehicles produce, spring steel driveshafts like these FTX11386 components provide the reliability foundation that serious competitors and dedicated enthusiasts rely on.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles are these FTX11386 driveshafts compatible with? — The FTX Rally Spring Steel Universal Driveshafts (PR) FTX11386 are specifically designed for compatibility with the FTX5470W FTX MK2RS 1/10th Brushless Rally Car RTR in white and the FTX5470BK FTX MK2RS 1/10th Brushless Rally Car RTR in black. The universal design means they work across different configurations of these rally car platforms.
- Why choose spring steel driveshafts over standard plastic components? — Spring steel driveshafts offer superior durability, strength, and flexibility compared to plastic alternatives. They transmit power more efficiently from your brushless motor to the wheels, provide better shock absorption during aggressive driving, resist breaking under heavy load, and maintain consistent performance over extended use. For serious RC enthusiasts and competitive drivers, spring steel components represent a worthwhile upgrade that extends the lifespan of your rally car's drivetrain.
- Are these driveshafts sold as individual units or as a pair? — The FTX11386 are sold as a pair, meaning you receive two driveshafts in each package. This allows you to replace either the front or rear axle driveshafts, or upgrade both if you're performing a complete drivetrain refresh on your FTX MK2RS.
- How do I know if my driveshafts need replacement? — Signs that your driveshafts need replacement include visible cracks or bending in the shafts, excessive play or wobbling in the drivetrain, reduced power transmission to the wheels, unusual clicking or clunking sounds during acceleration, or visible damage from impacts during driving. Replacing worn or damaged driveshafts immediately helps prevent further damage to your motor, ESC, and transmission.
- Are these genuine OEM FTX parts? — Yes, the FTX11386 are genuine original equipment manufacturer spares from FTX, meaning they're engineered to the exact specifications of your rally car and manufactured to the same quality standards as the components included in the original ready to run package. Using genuine OEM spares ensures perfect fitment and reliable performance.
- Do I need any special tools to install these driveshafts? — Installation typically requires basic RC tools such as hex keys and possibly a small screwdriver, though you should consult your FTX MK2RS manual for specific installation instructions and torque specifications. If you're unsure about installation, RC Model Shop team members can provide guidance or assistance.
