Technical Performance
The FTX Supaforza Rear Input and Crown Gear 16/43 is engineered with precision and durability as core design principles. This component serves as the critical link in the transmission chain of your 1/7th scale brushless electric RTR RC car, transferring power from the motor through the centre differential to the rear axle with minimal energy loss. The 16/43 ratio represents an intermediate gearing configuration that balances the demands of both high-speed straights and technical corners, making it suitable for the varied driving scenarios that the FTX Supaforza GT commonly encounters. FTX manufactures these gears using robust materials and precision machining processes to ensure consistent tooth engagement, smooth power delivery, and extended operational lifespan even under the demanding conditions of competitive RC racing or regular recreational use. The crown gear component works in conjunction with the rear input gear to smoothly redirect and transfer rotational force, and the quality of this meshing directly impacts the smoothness, efficiency, and reliability of your entire drivetrain system. Regular inspection and maintenance of these components, including replacement when signs of wear or damage appear, is essential for maintaining your Supaforza GT's performance and preventing secondary damage to other transmission components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which FTX Supaforza models does this rear input and crown gear fit? — This component is specifically designed for the FTX5494B (FTX Supaforza GT 1/7th Brushless Electric RTR in Blue) and FTX5494R (FTX Supaforza GT 1/7th Brushless Electric RTR in Red). Before purchasing, confirm that you own one of these compatible models to ensure proper fitment and operation.
- Is this a complete replacement assembly or individual gears? — This is a complete rear input and crown gear assembly, providing both components as a matched pair pre-assembled and ready for installation into your Supaforza GT transmission system.
- Why would I need to replace my rear input and crown gear? — Replacement becomes necessary when these components show signs of wear such as stripped teeth, rough meshing, grinding noises, or loss of power transmission efficiency. Regular inspection is recommended, particularly after intensive racing or bashing sessions. Replacement maintains your vehicle's reliability and prevents damage to other drivetrain components.
- What does the 16/43 ratio mean? — The 16/43 indicates the gear tooth ratio between the pinion (input) gear at 16 teeth and the crown (ring) gear at 43 teeth. This ratio determines the mechanical advantage and speed characteristics of your drivetrain, affecting acceleration response and top speed capability.
- How difficult is it to install this component? — Installation requires moderate mechanical knowledge and appropriate tools including a transmission stand or vice, screwdrivers, and potentially shock tools. Detailed guidance is available in your Supaforza GT manual or through RC enthusiast forums. If you are uncertain about the installation process, our team at RC Model Shop is happy to advise or assist.
- Is this part suitable for beginners? — This is a replacement drivetrain component rather than a standalone RC car, so it is best suited to RC enthusiasts with some mechanical experience who already own an FTX Supaforza GT and understand basic RC car maintenance and repair procedures.
- What is the difference between 16/43 and other gear ratios? — Different gear ratios offer varying trade-offs between acceleration and top speed. The 16/43 ratio provides a balanced middle-ground option; lower ratios favour acceleration whilst higher ratios favour top speed. Your choice depends on your intended racing environment and driving style.
