Technical Performance
The FTX Carnage NT / Zorro NT Centre Transmission Bulkhead is engineered to exacting standards to provide the structural support necessary for the transmission assembly of a high-performance 1/10th scale 4WD nitro truck. As the central support structure, this bulkhead must maintain precise alignment of the transmission components whilst withstanding the considerable rotational forces generated by a nitro engine coupled to a four-wheel-drive system. The design ensures that the gear mesh remains perfectly aligned even under extreme driving conditions, preventing premature wear, noise, and loss of efficiency. The manufacturing process and material selection reflect FTX's commitment to producing durable, long-lasting components that can handle the demands of serious RC enthusiasts. The bulkhead's robust construction means it can support the high-torque characteristics of nitro engines whilst maintaining the precision necessary for optimal power transmission.
