Overview

The FTX Stinger Centre Drive Output Cups (2pc) are essential replacement drivetrain components designed specifically for FTX on-road street RC cars. These precision-engineered output cups form a critical part of the centre drive system, connecting the main drive shaft to the wheel hubs and transferring power from the gearbox directly to the wheels. Whether you're a dedicated RC car enthusiast in the UK looking to maintain your FTX Stinger or EVO30, or you need reliable spare parts to keep your brushless RC car performing at its peak, these centre drive output cups are the genuine OEM solution you can trust.

As an authorised FTX dealer, RC Model Shop supplies only authentic, factory-manufactured parts that meet the exact specifications required for your on-road street machine. The Stinger and EVO30 ranges have earned recognition amongst UK RC competitors and weekend bashers alike for their speed, handling and durability on tarmac surfaces. Maintaining your RC car with genuine OEM spares like these output cups ensures consistent performance and reliability, whether you're competing or simply enjoying high-speed street runs at your local circuit.

These centre drive output cups are wear items that may require replacement after extended use, particularly if you engage in regular high-speed driving or competitive racing. Having a spare set on hand means you can get back on the track quickly without downtime, making them a smart addition to any RC enthusiast's spares box.

Technical Performance

The centre drive output cups play a vital role in the drivetrain architecture of FTX on-road street cars, specifically designed for the demands of high-speed tarmac driving. These components are engineered from durable materials selected to withstand the torque loads generated by the brushless and brushed motor options available in the Stinger and EVO30 platforms. The precision manufacturing ensures minimal play between the output cup and the drive shaft, reducing vibration and maintaining responsive steering inputs at speed. The cup design allows for efficient power transfer from the centre gearbox directly to each wheel, a configuration that offers several advantages over traditional axle setups including reduced mechanical complexity, improved weight distribution, and more predictable handling characteristics. Whether you're running the FTX Stinger 1/10 brushless RTR in red or grey, or choosing between the EVO30's brushed or brushless variants, maintaining your centre drive system with genuine replacement cups ensures your RC car UK performance remains consistent and reliable across competitive and recreational driving sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What are centre drive output cups and why do I need them? — Centre drive output cups are the connection points between your RC car's gearbox drive shafts and the wheel hubs. They transfer engine power to the wheels. Over time, these cups can wear, strip, or break from the stresses of driving, particularly in competitive use. Having genuine replacement cups ensures your drivetrain functions smoothly and your steering response remains accurate and predictable.
• Will these fit my FTX RC car? — Yes, these centre drive output cups are specifically designed for FTX Stinger and FTX EVO30 models. The FTX Stinger 1/10 brushless street car (available in red FTX5492R and grey FTX5492G) and both the brushed (FTX5491R red and FTX5491BK black) and brushless (FTX5493R red and FTX5493BK black) versions of the EVO30 1/10 street car all use these same output cups as original equipment. Verify your model matches before ordering.
• How often do I need to replace these cups? — The lifespan of centre drive output cups depends on your driving style and frequency. Casual recreational drivers may go many months or longer without replacement, whilst competitive racers who push their brushless RC cars to the limit might need replacements more frequently. Inspect your cups regularly during maintenance; if you notice any cracks, excessive wear, or resistance in the drive, replacement is advised.
• Are these genuine FTX parts or aftermarket alternatives? — These are authentic FTX OEM spares, sourced directly from the manufacturer. Using genuine parts rather than third-party alternatives ensures perfect fitment, compatible materials, and reliable performance. Cheap aftermarket substitutes may not engage properly with your drive shafts, leading to loose steering and poor handling on the street circuit.
• What tools do I need to install these centre drive output cups? — Installation typically requires basic RC car maintenance tools including hex keys and possibly a small screwdriver, depending on your specific model's design. Refer to your FTX Stinger or EVO30 instruction manual for detailed disassembly and reassembly procedures. If you're unfamiliar with RC car maintenance, our team at RC Model Shop can offer guidance.
• Can I use these cups on other FTX models? — These parts are specifically engineered for the centre drive systems found in the Stinger and EVO30 ranges. Other FTX models may use different drivetrain configurations and would require different output cups. Always verify compatibility using your model number before purchasing.
