Overview

The FTX Stinger Gearbox Housing (FTX10505) is an essential replacement chassis spare part for FTX Stinger 1/10 on-road street brushless RC cars.

Technical Performance

The FTX Stinger Gearbox Housing is a precision-engineered chassis spare designed to exacting standards by FTX, a recognised manufacturer of quality RC cars and components across the UK and Europe. As a component part of the 1/10 scale Stinger platform, this gearbox housing maintains the same dimensional accuracy and material specifications as the original equipment fitted to new models. The housing protects the transmission gears and bearings whilst maintaining rigid alignment under the stresses of brushless motor acceleration and cornering loads. For 1/10 on-road street cars like the Stinger, which achieve significantly higher speeds than off-road vehicles, the gearbox housing must be robust and precisely manufactured to maintain gear meshing accuracy and prevent flex or damage. This genuine FTX component undergoes quality control testing to ensure it meets the same standards as parts fitted to factory-built RC cars, making it the reliable choice for any Stinger owner needing to restore their vehicle to like-new condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which FTX RC cars does this gearbox housing fit? — The FTX10505 gearbox housing is compatible with the FTX Stinger 1/10 brushless on-road street cars (both red FTX5492R and grey FTX5492G variants) and also fits the FTX EVO30 1/10 street car range (both brushed and brushless models in red and black). Always verify the model number of your RC car before ordering to ensure compatibility.
• Is this a genuine FTX part? — Yes, this is an original FTX manufacturer component with the authentic part number FTX10505. It is not a generic or aftermarket alternative, ensuring perfect compatibility and the quality standards FTX is known for throughout the UK RC hobby community.
• Do I need any other parts to install the gearbox housing? — The gearbox housing is a chassis component, and depending on whether your existing gearbox housing is damaged or you are performing a preventative replacement, you may need internal transmission components such as gears or bearings. However, the housing itself is the primary part needed for most gearbox assembly replacements.
• What is the difference between this and the EVO30 gearbox housing? — According to the source documentation, the FTX10505 is compatible with both Stinger and EVO30 models, suggesting the gearbox housing design is shared across these platforms. Both vehicles use 1/10 scale on-road powertrains, which share similar transmission requirements.
• How do I know if my gearbox housing needs replacement? — Signs of gearbox housing damage include visible cracks or breaks in the plastic, difficulty shifting between gears, unusual grinding or clicking noises from the transmission, transmission fluid leaks, or if your RC car has suffered a significant impact or crash to the chassis area. If you notice any of these symptoms on your Stinger or EVO30, a replacement gearbox housing from RC Model Shop will restore your vehicle to full working order.
• Can I still use my RC car while waiting for the replacement? — If your gearbox housing is cracked or severely damaged, we do not recommend operating the RC car, as continued driving could cause the damage to worsen and potentially damage internal transmission components. Once you have your replacement part from RC Model Shop, installation should be carried out before the next driving session.
