Technical Performance
The FTX Centaur Gear (15T) is a critical drivetrain component engineered for the demands of 1/10th scale trail crawling. As part of the FTX Centaur's sophisticated 4WD drivetrain system, this 15-tooth gear works in conjunction with larger spur gears and other drivetrain elements to transmit power from the motor to the wheels with efficiency and precision. The 15T configuration offers a specific gear ratio compared to the alternative options available in the FTX range, such as the 30T and 32T gears. This smaller pinion tooth count allows experienced RC enthusiasts to experiment with different gearing ratios, which affects acceleration, top speed, and overall drivetrain characteristics. The gear is manufactured from durable materials capable of withstanding the stresses of off-road trail running, crawling through rocky terrain, and general RC car use. Precision machining ensures that the gear meshes smoothly with corresponding components, reducing noise and maximising power transmission efficiency. For RC model enthusiasts in the UK who demand reliability and quality, this genuine FTX spare part meets the exacting standards required for professional and recreational trail running.
