Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a differential gear washer and why do I need it for my FTX RC car? — Differential gear washers are small but critical components that sit within your vehicle's differential assembly to control the spacing and backlash between drivetrain gears. As you use your RC car, these washers can wear down or become compressed, reducing their effectiveness. Having spare washers allows you to adjust your differential setup for optimal performance, reduce drivetrain noise, improve handling characteristics, and maintain smooth power delivery from your brushless motor to your wheels. This is especially important if you're running your FTX Vantage, Carnage, Outlaw, or Banzai regularly on different terrain types.
• Which FTX models are these washers compatible with? — These 16-tooth differential gear washers are designed for the FTX Vantage, FTX Carnage, FTX Outlaw, and FTX Banzai models. They will not fit other FTX vehicles or different scale RC cars, so always verify your model before ordering. If you're unsure of your model, contact us and our experienced team can help identify the correct parts for your specific RC car.
• How do I adjust my differential using these washers? — Adjusting your differential backlash involves carefully disassembling your vehicle's differential housing, counting the current number of washers, and adding or removing washers as needed. More washers generally increase backlash slightly, whilst fewer washers create a tighter gear mesh. The exact number of washers required depends on your terrain, driving style, and personal handling preferences. Many RC enthusiasts experiment with different washer counts to find their optimal setup, which is why having a pack of six is so valuable for tuning and experimentation.
• Are these genuine FTX parts or aftermarket copies? — These are genuine FTX original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts, manufactured to FTX's exact specifications. Purchasing genuine spares ensures perfect fit, optimal performance, and reliability. Aftermarket or counterfeit parts may not meet these exacting standards and could compromise your vehicle's performance or durability.
• How often should I replace my differential washers? — The lifespan of differential washers depends on how frequently and intensely you use your RC car. Regular bashers might replace them every 6-12 months, whilst casual users might only need replacements every couple of years. If you notice increased differential noise, sluggish power delivery, or handling changes, it's time to inspect and potentially replace your washers. Having this spare pack means you can refresh your differential setup whenever needed.
• Can I use these washers on other differential ratios? — These washers are specifically designed for 16-tooth differential gears. Using them with other gear ratios may result in improper fit, increased noise, or poor performance. Always match your washers to your differential gear specification to ensure optimal results.
