Technical Performance
The FTX TEXAN 1/10 Transmission Housing Set is a precision-engineered chassis spare component that forms a critical part of your vehicle's drivetrain assembly. The transmission housing serves multiple essential functions: it houses the internal gears and mechanical components of the transmission, protects them from dirt, debris, and impact damage, maintains proper gear alignment and engagement, and distributes forces throughout the chassis structure. Built to FTX's exacting engineering standards, this housing is manufactured with materials and tolerances that ensure perfect alignment with all internal transmission components. Whether you're driving on rough terrain, bashings your RC car through challenging landscapes, or competing in organised racing events, the transmission housing is subjected to significant stresses from acceleration, deceleration, turning forces, and impacts. Having a genuine OEM replacement ensures that your transmission system continues to operate with the precision and reliability that FTX engineered into the original Texan platform. The housing's design optimises gear mesh efficiency whilst maintaining structural rigidity, which translates to smoother power delivery, improved acceleration response, and consistent performance across all driving conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FTX TEXAN 1/10 Transmission Housing Set suitable for beginners? — Yes, this spare part is suitable for anyone who owns an FTX Texan 1/10 RC model. If you have basic mechanical skills and tools, replacement is straightforward. However, if you're completely new to RC vehicle maintenance, we recommend consulting the FTX Texan assembly manual or watching instructional videos before attempting installation. Our team at RC Model Shop is always available to answer technical questions.
- Why would I need to replace the transmission housing? — The transmission housing can become damaged through impacts, crashes, or wear over extended use. Signs you might need replacement include cracks in the housing, difficulty shifting gears, grinding noises during acceleration, or visible debris inside the transmission. Replacing the housing promptly prevents further damage to internal transmission components, which could be much more expensive to repair.
- Will this fit my FTX Texan 1/10 RC model? — Yes, this is a genuine FTX spare part designed specifically for the FTX Texan 1/10 platform. It is engineered to fit perfectly with all OEM components and requires no modification. If you own an FTX Texan 1/10, this is the correct replacement housing for your model.
- What tools do I need to install the transmission housing? — Installation requirements depend on your specific model and whether you're replacing the housing as part of a complete transmission rebuild or as a standalone component. We recommend consulting the FTX Texan assembly manual or contacting our team for detailed guidance. Generally, basic RC tools such as hex keys and screwdrivers are required.
- Is this a complete transmission, or just the housing? — This is specifically the transmission housing set (the casing/enclosure only). It does not include internal gears, bearings, or other transmission components. If you need those parts as well, they are available separately as individual spare parts.
- How long does delivery take in the UK? — We offer mainland UK delivery on orders over £99, with click and collect available in store. For specific delivery timescales for this item, please contact our team or check your order confirmation.
