Technical Performance
This FTX Zorro Brushless 43T Main Spur Gear is manufactured to strict OEM specifications and engineered for the demands of brushless RC vehicles. The spur gear is the primary interface between your brushless motor's output shaft and the transmission system, making it absolutely critical to drivetrain performance. With 43 teeth, this gear is calibrated to deliver the precise gear reduction required by FTX's brushless setup, which typically features 3S LiPo battery compatibility in the Zorro Trophy Truck RTR and 3S Lipo power in the Khaos Truggy RTR models. The gear's tooth profile is designed to minimise backlash and drivetrain slop, which is essential for responsive handling and efficient power transfer in 1/10-scale brushless RC vehicles. When properly installed and maintained, this spur gear will provide thousands of hours of reliable service, though periodic replacement is recommended as part of regular maintenance schedules for vehicles used in competitive racing or regular weekend bashing. The material composition and heat treatment of the gear ensure it can withstand the continuous meshing forces generated by brushless motor output without premature wear or failure, making it a cost-effective way to keep your FTX brushless RC car performing at its best.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this spur gear compatible with all FTX RC vehicles? — No, this 43T main spur gear is specifically designed for FTX Zorro Trophy Truck Brushless RTR models and FTX Khaos 1/10 Brushless 4WD Truggy RTR variants in both purple and blue colours. Always verify your vehicle model before purchasing to ensure compatibility with your brushless RC car.
- How often should I replace my spur gear? — Spur gear replacement frequency depends on driving intensity and conditions. Regular bashers may need replacement every 6-12 months, whilst racers using the same vehicle multiple times per week might require more frequent changes. Inspect your gear regularly for visible wear, chipping, or tooth damage, and replace it immediately if you notice performance degradation or unusual noises from the drivetrain.
- What is a Mod 1 spur gear and why does it matter? — Mod 1 refers to the module specification of the gear tooth profile. FTX designs their drivetrain components with compatible tooth profiles to ensure smooth meshing and minimal backlash. Using genuine FTX Mod 1 gears guarantees this compatibility, whereas incompatible gear modules may cause grinding, slipping, or accelerated wear in your brushless RC vehicle's transmission.
- Can I use this spur gear in other brushless RC vehicles? — This is an FTX-specific component designed exclusively for FTX brushless models listed in the compatibility section. Do not attempt to install this gear in other brands or models, as differing module specifications and mounting configurations may result in poor fit and drivetrain damage or failure.
- What battery type does my FTX Zorro Trophy Truck or Khaos Truggy use with this spur gear? — Both the FTX Zorro Trophy Truck Brushless RTR and FTX Khaos Truggy RTR are compatible with 3S LiPo batteries. This spur gear is engineered to handle the power delivery from brushless motors running on 3S LiPo power, providing the correct gear ratio for balanced performance across the vehicle's speed and torque characteristics.
- Why should I buy genuine FTX parts rather than cheaper alternatives? — Genuine OEM FTX parts are manufactured to exact specifications matching your vehicle's design requirements, ensuring perfect fitment, optimal performance, and long-term reliability. Cheaper aftermarket alternatives may not maintain the correct tooth profile, material hardness, or dimensional tolerances, leading to premature failure, poor mesh, and potential damage to other drivetrain components. Investing in genuine FTX spares protects your brushless RC vehicle's longevity and performance.
