Overview
The FTX Tracker Transmission Gear (6T) FTX10294 is a genuine OEM replacement transmission gear designed specifically for the FTX Tracker RC car. This is an essential component for any Tracker owner looking to maintain their vehicle's performance or upgrade their drivetrain characteristics. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK or a weekend basher who wants to keep your ready to run RC car running smoothly, having genuine replacement gears on hand is crucial for uninterrupted fun on the track or trail.
Transmission gears are fundamental to how your RC car accelerates, handles load distribution, and delivers power from the motor to the wheels. The 6-tooth configuration offers a specific gear ratio that balances speed and torque characteristics for the Tracker platform. By choosing the correct tooth count for your driving style and terrain, you can fine-tune your RC car's performance to suit your preferences, whether you prefer high-speed runs or aggressive acceleration out of corners.
FTX is recognised as a manufacturer of quality RC models and replacement parts, and this transmission gear meets their strict engineering standards. This genuine component is manufactured to precise tolerances, ensuring perfect mesh with mating gears and reliable operation over extended use. If you're experiencing grinding sounds, slipping, or poor acceleration in your Tracker, a worn transmission gear could be the culprit, and this replacement will restore your vehicle to full performance.
Key Features
- 6-Tooth Configuration — This gear tooth count is specifically engineered for the FTX Tracker platform, providing the optimal balance between acceleration and top-end speed for this model's weight and motor characteristics.
- Genuine OEM Component — As an official FTX part, this transmission gear is manufactured to the exact same specifications and tolerances as the original equipment, guaranteeing compatibility and performance.
- Precision-Engineered Design — The gear is cut to tight tolerances to ensure smooth, quiet operation and proper meshing with other drivetrain components, reducing wear and extending the life of your entire transmission system.
- Direct Replacement — This part is designed as a drop-in replacement for damaged, stripped, or worn transmission gears in your FTX Tracker, requiring no modification or adjustment.
- Affordable Maintenance — Priced competitively, this replacement gear allows you to maintain your RC car affordably rather than replacing entire transmission assemblies.
- Essential Spare for Bashers — Whether you're a competitive racer or casual basher, keeping spare transmission gears in your toolbox ensures you can quickly get back to running if a gear becomes damaged during intense use.
Technical Performance
The FTX Tracker Transmission Gear (6T) is precision-manufactured from hardened steel or reinforced polymer, depending on the specific design of the Tracker platform, ensuring it can withstand the torque and stress generated during acceleration and cornering. The 6-tooth configuration represents a specific gear ratio choice that, when paired with other transmission components in your Tracker, delivers predictable performance characteristics. This tooth count is lighter and more durable than it might first appear, as modern RC transmission gearing uses advanced materials and heat-treatment processes to maximise strength whilst minimising weight. The gear is designed to mesh perfectly with the pinion gear driven by your motor, creating a smooth power delivery pathway from your brushless motor or brushed motor (depending on your Tracker configuration) through to the wheels. Regular inspection and replacement of transmission gears when worn is part of proper RC car maintenance, and having genuine FTX components ensures your vehicle continues to perform as the engineers intended. The precision fit of this original equipment gear means less backlash in the drivetrain, which translates to more responsive handling and better power transfer to the ground.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a transmission gear and why does my FTX Tracker need one? — The transmission gear is a critical component in your RC car's drivetrain that transfers power from the motor to the wheels. Over time and with heavy use, gears can become stripped, cracked, or worn, causing poor acceleration and unresponsive handling. Replacing a damaged gear restores your vehicle to full performance and prevents further damage to other drivetrain components.
- How do I know if my transmission gear is damaged? — Common signs of a damaged transmission gear include grinding or squealing noises from the gearbox, loss of acceleration even with a fully charged battery, the car feeling sluggish or unresponsive, or visible cracks or missing teeth on the gear itself when you inspect it.
- Is the 6-tooth gear the right choice for my driving style? — The 6-tooth configuration is the standard gear ratio for the FTX Tracker platform. However, FTX offers alternative tooth counts (9T and 20T) through spares like the FTX Tracker Transmission Gear (9T) and FTX Tracker Transmission Gear (20T). The 6T gear balances speed and acceleration for general-purpose driving. A lower tooth count (like 6T) favours acceleration and climbing, while higher tooth counts favour top speed on open terrain.
- Can I use aftermarket gears instead of genuine FTX parts? — Whilst some aftermarket gears may fit, genuine FTX components are engineered specifically for your Tracker and guarantee perfect compatibility, optimal performance, and reliability. Using genuine parts protects your warranty and ensures your vehicle performs as designed.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Whilst transmission gear replacement is a straightforward task for experienced RC enthusiasts, beginners may want to consult the Tracker manual or seek advice before attempting gear replacement. However, purchasing this spare as a backup is always sensible for any Tracker owner, whether beginner or advanced.
- How often should I replace my transmission gear? — Transmission gears typically last hundreds of driving hours under normal conditions. Heavy use, crashes, or poor maintenance can shorten their lifespan. Regular inspection during scheduled maintenance and immediate replacement if damage is detected will keep your vehicle running reliably.
- Do I need any special tools to install this gear? — Gear replacement typically requires basic RC tools including hex drivers and possibly a gear puller. Consult your FTX Tracker manual for specific installation instructions and required tools.
