- Durable Construction — Built to withstand the stresses of off-road RC driving, crawling over obstacles and continuous transmission operation, this gear drive is engineered for longevity and reliability during extended bashing sessions.
- Part of Complete Drivetrain System — Works seamlessly with other Buzzsaw transmission components including the main drive motor assembly, drive wheels, caterpillar tracks and shaft housing to create a fully integrated, high-performance drivetrain for your 1/12 scale RC platform.

Technical Performance
The FTX Buzzsaw Main Gear Drive represents precision engineering specifically tailored for 1/12 scale RC ATV applications. This two-piece assembly integrates directly with the Buzzsaw's motor-driven transmission system, converting rotational force from the main drive motor assembly into directional power delivery to the caterpillar tracks and drive wheels. The gear drive mechanism is engineered to handle the torque demands of off-road terrain navigation, including rocky crawling, muddy conditions and aggressive bashing scenarios typical of RC car enthusiasts in the UK. The component's construction focuses on gear tooth profile accuracy and material hardness to minimise wear during thousands of operating cycles. When paired with the FTX Buzzsaw Main Drive Motor Assembly (FTX0611), this gear drive delivers consistent power distribution and maintains efficient mechanical advantage across variable speed ranges. The design accommodates integration with other critical Buzzsaw transmission components including the Gear Outputs Set (FTX0626-3), Shaft Housing Set (FTX0626-4) and steering-related gears, creating a cohesive drivetrain ecosystem. The two-piece configuration reduces assembly complexity while maintaining structural rigidity, making this an ideal solution for both replacement and performance upgrades in competitive or recreational RC driving environments.
