Technical Performance
The FTX COLT DIFF BEVEL GEAR S.12T 3PCS represents a precision-engineered component designed specifically for use within FTX Colt differential assemblies. Bevel gears are conical gears that mesh at an angle, allowing power transmission between perpendicular shafts in your RC vehicle's differential. The 12-tooth specification is calibrated to work seamlessly with the FTX Colt's drivetrain geometry, delivering the precise gear ratio and torque characteristics that the vehicle was engineered for. The three-piece configuration provides redundancy and ensures you have replacement components ready without having to source individual gears from different suppliers. Manufactured to OEM standards, these bevel gears maintain the exact specifications required for proper differential function, ensuring smooth operation during acceleration, braking and directional changes. The quality of construction directly impacts the responsiveness and reliability of your differential, influencing how effectively power is distributed to the wheels during demanding RC driving scenarios. Whether you're operating your FTX Colt on rocky trails, sandy terrain or technical rock crawling courses, maintaining properly functioning differential gears ensures consistent handling and minimises stress on surrounding drivetrain components.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a differential bevel gear and why does my FTX Colt need one? — A differential bevel gear is a precision component that allows your RC vehicle's wheels to rotate at different speeds when cornering, while still receiving power from the motor. The FTX Colt uses bevel gears in its differential assembly to enable smooth turning and optimal traction across varied terrain. Over time, these gears can wear from regular use, making replacements necessary for maintaining peak differential performance.
- How do I know when my differential bevel gears need replacing? — Signs of worn differential gears include grinding noises from the differential, inconsistent wheel speeds during cornering, or visible damage to the gear teeth. If you're rebuilding your FTX Colt's differential as part of routine maintenance, this three-piece set gives you fresh components to work with.
- Will these bevel gears fit my FTX Colt model? — Yes, the FTX COLT DIFF BEVEL GEAR S.12T 3PCS is specifically engineered for FTX Colt RC vehicles. The 12-tooth specification and geometry are designed to match the FTX Colt differential assembly precisely, ensuring proper fitment without modification.
- Are these genuine FTX parts? — Yes, this is an authentic FTX component manufactured to the exact specifications required by FTX Colt models. Purchasing genuine OEM parts ensures compatibility, reliability and longevity compared to third-party alternatives.
- What is the difference between these and cheaper aftermarket bevel gears? — Genuine FTX bevel gears are manufactured to precise tolerances and material specifications, ensuring they deliver the exact performance characteristics and durability your FTX Colt was designed for. Cheaper aftermarket alternatives may have dimensional inconsistencies that lead to premature wear or poor differential performance.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — This is a replacement spare part rather than a complete product, so it's more suited to those who already own an FTX Colt and are comfortable performing basic maintenance. Beginners new to RC crawlers should consider purchasing a ready-to-run FTX Colt kit first, then keep spare parts like these on hand as they develop their hobby.
