FTX DR8 Differential Output Cups Spare Parts Pack of 2 FTX9500

Overview

The FTX DR8 Differential Output Cups are essential replacement or upgrade components for FTX 1/8 scale RC desert racing vehicles and select performance models. These precision-engineered cups form a critical part of your RC car's differential assembly, transmitting power from the central differential to the axle shafts and ultimately to your wheels. Whether you're a dedicated RC car enthusiast in the UK looking to maintain your FTX DR8 1/8 desert racer or you own a Supaforza GT 1/7th brushless electric RC vehicle, these differential output cups ensure smooth, reliable power delivery during intense off-road driving sessions.

Manufactured by FTX, a recognised brand in the RC hobby community, these differential output cups are OEM (original equipment manufacturer) components that meet the exacting standards required for high-performance RC racing. The pack contains two cups, allowing you to replace both the left and right side cups simultaneously, ensuring balanced performance across your differential assembly. Whether you've experienced wear from intense track sessions, stripped threads from aggressive driving, or simply want to upgrade to fresh components as part of routine maintenance, these FTX differential output cups deliver the quality and durability you expect from an authorised FTX spare part.

These cups are specifically compatible with the FTX DR8 1/8 Desert Racer 6S RTR (available in Red and Blue variants) and the FTX Supaforza GT 1/7th Brushless Electric RTR models (also in Red and Blue options). If you're building or maintaining a serious ready to run RC car setup in the UK, having a set of quality differential output cups in your spares box is essential for minimising downtime and keeping your vehicle performing at its peak during competitive events, club races, or weekend bashing sessions.

Key Features

• OEM FTX Component — These are genuine original equipment manufacturer parts engineered by FTX specifically for their DR8 and Supaforza models, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with your RC car's differential assembly and drivetrain components.
• Matched Pair — The pack includes two differential output cups, allowing you to replace both left and right side cups in one go, ensuring balanced torque distribution and consistent power delivery to both sides of your RC vehicle.
• Precision Engineering — FTX differential output cups are manufactured to tight tolerances to provide smooth engagement with the differential shafts and axle components, delivering reliable power transmission during high-speed desert racing and aggressive off-road driving.
• Essential Wear Item — As a critical component in the differential assembly, these cups can wear or become damaged during intense RC driving, making replacement cups a necessary maintenance item for any serious FTX DR8 or Supaforza GT owner in the UK.
• Universal Spares Compatibility — Whilst designed primarily for the FTX DR8 1/8 Desert Racer, these cups also fit the FTX Supaforza GT 1/7th model, making them a versatile spare part for owners of multiple FTX brushless electric RC vehicles.

Technical Performance

The FTX DR8 Differential Output Cups represent the engineering standard expected in 1/8 scale RC desert racing applications. These cups interface directly with the differential case and output shafts, serving as the mechanical connection points through which all engine torque is translated to the drive wheels. In the FTX DR8 1/8 Desert Racer 6S RTR configuration, which utilises brushless electric power with modern LiPo battery technology, the differential output cups must withstand continuous torque loads during acceleration, cornering, and aggressive off-road manoeuvres. The precision-machined design ensures minimal backlash and smooth rotational engagement, which is critical for maintaining consistent handling characteristics across varied terrain. FTX has engineered these cups with the durability requirements of high-performance 1/8 scale racing in mind, where reliability directly impacts competitive success. The material composition and manufacturing process used to produce these differential output cups reflects the same quality standards applied throughout FTX's range of RC spares and components. Whether you're operating your FTX DR8 or Supaforza GT in dry desert conditions, sandy tracks, or mixed off-road terrain, these replacement cups provide the structural integrity needed to keep your differential functioning smoothly and maintaining optimal power delivery to your wheels.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a differential output cup and why would I need a replacement? — Differential output cups are the mechanical interfaces between your RC car's differential assembly and the axle shafts that drive your wheels. During intense driving, these cups can wear, develop play, or become damaged if you crash hard or strip the internal threads through aggressive assembly or disassembly. Replacement cups restore proper differential function and ensure smooth power delivery to both wheels during cornering and acceleration.
• Which FTX models are these differential output cups compatible with? — These FTX9500 differential output cups are designed for the FTX DR8 1/8 Desert Racer 6S RTR (both Red FTX5495R and Blue FTX5495B variants) and the FTX Supaforza GT 1/7th Brushless Electric RTR (both Blue FTX5494B and Red FTX5494R models). If you own one of these ready to run RC vehicles, these cups are the correct replacement parts for your differential assembly.
• How do I know if my differential output cups need replacement? — Signs that your differential output cups may need replacement include play or movement in the wheels when the motor is off (indicating worn cup engagement), grinding or clicking noises from the differential area during driving, or visible damage to the cups themselves. If you've had a significant crash or if your RC car has been used extensively in competitive racing, inspection and replacement as routine maintenance is recommended.
• Are these genuine FTX parts? — Yes, the FTX DR8 Differential Output Cups FTX9500 are genuine OEM components manufactured by FTX. When you purchase from RC Model Shop, you receive authentic FTX spares that meet the original manufacturer's specifications and quality standards, ensuring perfect compatibility and reliability with your FTX desert racer or Supaforza GT.
• How many differential output cups do I need? — Each FTX9500 pack contains two cups, which is the correct quantity needed to replace both the left and right differential output cup positions in your RC car's differential assembly. One package is sufficient for a complete differential output cup replacement.
• Can these cups fit other FTX models? — These cups are specifically engineered for the FTX DR8 and Supaforza GT models. Whilst FTX manufactures many popular ready to run RC vehicles in the UK market including the Outback, Hi-Rock, Edge, and Kanyon series, each model uses different differential assemblies and components. Always verify model compatibility before ordering spares to ensure correct fitment.
