Key Features
- Two-Piece Gear Set — This spare parts pack contains two individual 13-tooth transmission gears, giving you a full replacement set or allowing you to keep a spare on hand for future maintenance and repairs, which is essential for serious RC enthusiasts who frequently run their vehicles in demanding conditions.
- 13-Tooth Configuration — The precisely calculated 13-tooth count is engineered to work in harmony with the FTX Centaur's drivetrain geometry, delivering the correct gear ratio and rotational characteristics needed for reliable 4WD trail performance and smooth power delivery across varied terrain.
- Genuine FTX Component — As official FTX spare parts manufactured to OEM specifications, these gears are guaranteed to fit correctly and perform to the same standards as your original equipment, ensuring compatibility and reliability that you simply cannot guarantee with counterfeit or off-brand alternatives.
- Drivetrain-Specific Design — These are not generic gears but precision-engineered components specifically designed for the FTX Centaur's transmission system, meaning they integrate seamlessly with your existing drivetrain without modification or compatibility concerns.
- Wear-Resistant Construction — Transmission gears are precision-manufactured from durable materials engineered to withstand the constant rotational forces and impact loads experienced during trail driving, rock crawling, and aggressive off-road use.
Technical Performance
The FTX Centaur 13T Transmission Gear represents precision engineering at its finest for 1/10th scale 4WD trail vehicles. Transmission gears are critical components within the drivetrain system, responsible for transferring rotational power from the motor through to the wheels whilst maintaining the correct mechanical advantage and speed characteristics. The 13-tooth specification is precisely calculated to provide the ideal balance between acceleration response and top-end speed for the Centaur platform's intended trail driving and rock crawling applications. In the demanding environment of off-road RC driving, drivetrain components experience significant wear and tear through constant engagement, disengagement, and rotational forces during climbing, descending, turning and general trail navigation. By maintaining genuine OEM replacement gears, you ensure that your FTX Centaur continues to deliver the factory-engineered performance characteristics that make it such a capable 4WD trail truck. The two-piece configuration allows you to replace both gears simultaneously, restoring your transmission to factory specifications and eliminating any mismatched wear patterns that could compromise performance or durability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which FTX Centaur models are compatible with the FTX10437 transmission gears? — These 13-tooth transmission gears are designed specifically for the FTX5475B (FTX Centaur 4WD 1/10th RTR Trail Vehicle in Blue) and the FTX5475R (FTX Centaur 4WD 1/10th RTR Trail Vehicle in Red). Both vehicles use identical drivetrain geometry and specifications, so these gears fit either model perfectly.
- How often will I need to replace my transmission gears? — The frequency of gear replacement depends entirely on how heavily you run your RC vehicle. Casual weekend users might only need replacement gears once or twice per year, whilst competitive trail drivers and aggressive bashers may need replacements more regularly. The first sign of wear is usually increased noise or slight grinding sounds during acceleration.
- Are these genuine FTX parts? — Yes, absolutely. The FTX10437 is an official FTX spare part manufactured to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications, ensuring perfect compatibility and performance with your Centaur. As an authorised RC retailer, RC Model Shop stocks only genuine products from the brands we represent.
- Do I need any special tools to install these transmission gears? — Installation of transmission gears typically requires basic RC tools such as hex drivers and possibly a small gear pulley, but the exact procedure varies depending on your specific Centaur model variant. We recommend consulting the official FTX Centaur instruction manual for detailed installation guidance, or visiting our physical store in Walsall where our experienced staff can provide technical advice.
- Should I replace both gears at the same time? — Yes, it's recommended to replace both gears simultaneously using this two-piece set, rather than replacing just one. This ensures that both sides of your transmission wear at the same rate going forwards, preventing uneven loading and potential drivetrain issues that could result from mismatched gear wear patterns.
