These precision-engineered differential bevel gears are designed to deliver reliable drivetrain performance in your RC car UK setup, ensuring smooth power transmission and consistent handling characteristics whether you are bashing at the weekend or pushing your vehicle to its limits.
As a dedicated spare part for the FTX Colt model range, this component represents genuine OEM engineering from FTX, a recognised manufacturer of quality RC vehicles and spare parts.

The FTX Colt has established itself as a capable and fun ready to run RC crawler, and maintaining its drivetrain with genuine spare parts ensures it continues to perform at its best. These bevel gears are crucial components that handle the transfer of torque from the drive shaft to the axles, making them vital to your vehicle's overall durability and off-road capability.

- Two-Piece Pack — You receive two bevel gears in this set, allowing you to service both sides of your differential or maintain a spare set for when wear eventually occurs, minimising downtime during your RC sessions.

Technical Performance
The FTX Colt Diff Bevel Gear B-2 represents precision drivetrain engineering designed to handle the unique demands of RC off-road vehicles. As part of the differential system, these bevel gears are critical components that allow torque to be distributed to the wheels whilst permitting them to rotate at different speeds. This is essential for maintaining traction during cornering and navigating obstacles on challenging terrain. The gears are manufactured to exacting tolerances to ensure smooth meshing and minimal backlash, which translates directly to improved handling response and reduced driveline noise. The B-2 designation indicates these are the specific variant engineered for the FTX Colt platform, ensuring compatibility with the vehicle's existing gear ratios and drivetrain geometry. The robust construction of these bevel gears ensures they can withstand the repetitive impacts and torque cycles inherent in off-road RC driving, whether you are crawling over rocks, bashing through grass, or tackling man-made obstacles. Over time, differential gears will naturally wear as internal components settle and bearing surfaces polish from use, making these replacement parts a vital part of any FTX Colt owner's maintenance toolkit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicle is the FTX Colt Diff Bevel Gear B-2 designed for? — This component is specifically engineered for the FTX Colt RC vehicle. The B-2 designation indicates the specific gear variant for this model. It is essential to verify your vehicle model before purchasing to ensure compatibility with your drivetrain.
- How often should I replace my differential bevel gears? — Differential gears will wear over extended use as the internal bearing surfaces and gear teeth gradually polish from friction and load cycles. If you notice increased play in your differential, grinding noises, or poor handling response, it is time to replace your bevel gears. Regular drivers may replace them every 12-18 months depending on driving intensity.
- Can I use these gears as an upgrade or performance mod? — These are OEM replacement parts manufactured to the original FTX specifications. If you are looking to upgrade your differential performance, you may need to explore complete differential upgrade kits rather than just the bevel gears themselves, as the overall differential ratio and component selection all work together as a system.
- Are these gears compatible with the rest of my FTX Colt drivetrain? — Yes, these are genuine FTX Colt spare parts and are designed to work seamlessly with your vehicle's existing differential housing, shaft, and all other drivetrain components. They will fit perfectly into your existing differential assembly.
- What tools do I need to install these bevel gears? — You will need basic RC maintenance tools to access your differential and remove the old gears. Your FTX Colt manual should provide step-by-step disassembly instructions. Typically, you will need small hex keys, screwdrivers, and possibly a small vice to help grip components safely during replacement.
- Should I buy the two-pack now or wait until my gears wear out? — Having spare parts on hand is wise for any serious RC enthusiast. Bevel gears do eventually wear, and keeping spares allows you to continue enjoying your RC car UK sessions without extended downtime waiting for new parts to arrive.
