Overview
The FTX Centaur Transmission Case C+B+D+G (FTX10406) is an essential replacement chassis spare part for owners of the FTX Centaur 4WD 1/10th scale RTR trail vehicle. Whether you're an experienced RC enthusiast running a trail crawler in the UK or someone new to the hobby of RC cars, this transmission case component is a critical part of your vehicle's drivetrain system. As a spare part specifically engineered for the FTX Centaur platform, this component ensures your RC car maintains optimal performance and reliability during off-road adventures.
The transmission case houses and protects the vital gearing mechanisms that transfer power from your motor to the wheels, making it one of the most important structural elements in any 4WD RC vehicle. When your existing transmission case becomes damaged, worn, or cracked from intensive trail running or high-impact collisions, having an authentic FTX replacement part ensures your Centaur continues to perform at its best. This genuine FTX part is manufactured to the exact same specifications as the original equipment, guaranteeing perfect fitment and compatibility with your vehicle.
RC Model Shop stocks this component as part of our comprehensive range of FTX spare parts and upgrade options. We understand that RC enthusiasts need reliable, genuine components that won't compromise the performance of their vehicles. The FTX Centaur Transmission Case is designed to withstand the demands of trail driving, rock crawling, and technical terrain navigation that the Centaur platform was built to handle.

Technical Performance
The FTX Centaur Transmission Case is a critical structural component of the Centaur's 4WD drivetrain system. This transmission case assembly houses the gearing mechanisms, differential components, and drive shaft connections that are essential for delivering power to all four wheels in the Centaur's legendary four-wheel drive platform. The case is manufactured using engineering-grade polymer materials that provide an optimal balance between lightweight construction and structural rigidity, allowing the transmission to handle the torque loads generated during trail driving without unnecessary weight penalty. The multi-piece design (indicated by the C+B+D+G designation) allows for efficient servicing and component replacement, while maintaining structural integrity under load. The transmission case interfaces seamlessly with the Centaur's motor and ESC system, ensuring smooth power delivery to the wheels. The internal geometry is precisely engineered to maintain proper spacing and alignment of all drivetrain components, which is critical for smooth operation and longevity. This genuine FTX part maintains the exact same engineering tolerances and material specifications as your original equipment, meaning you can install it with confidence knowing it will perform identically to the factory component it replaces.

- How difficult is it to install this transmission case on my Centaur? — While installation requires some mechanical knowledge and the right tools to safely remove and reinstall the drivetrain components, experienced RC enthusiasts with basic mechanical skills can perform this replacement. If you're unsure, RC Model Shop staff can provide guidance or you may prefer to have the installation performed by an experienced RC technician.
- Will using a non-genuine transmission case affect my vehicle's performance? — Non-genuine parts may not fit precisely, leading to misalignment, increased wear, or potential failure of drivetrain components. Using genuine FTX parts ensures your Centaur performs as designed and maintains its reliability during trail driving and crawling activities.
