Overview
The FTX Zorro Rear Wheel Axles represent essential replacement parts for owners of the FTX Zorro Trophy Truck Brushless RTR. Whether you're a seasoned RC enthusiast in the UK or discovering the world of RC trophy trucks for the first time, maintaining your vehicle with genuine OEM parts ensures optimal performance and reliability. These rear wheel axles are precision-engineered components designed specifically for the FTX Zorro platform, delivering the durability and fit accuracy that RC car UK enthusiasts expect from quality spares.
Rear wheel axles are critical components in any RC vehicle's drivetrain system.

By choosing genuine FTX parts, you ensure your trophy truck maintains factory specifications and continues to perform as intended.
Available as a pair, these rear wheel axles offer excellent value and are backed by FTX's reputation for quality RC components. If you own an FTX Zorro Trophy Truck Brushless or are looking to maintain your ready to run RC truck in peak condition, these spares are an excellent addition to your workshop inventory. Keep your RC trophy truck running smoothly with OEM-quality replacement parts from RC Model Shop.
Key Features
- Genuine FTX OEM Component — These axles are manufactured by FTX to exact specifications, ensuring perfect compatibility and fit with your Zorro Trophy Truck. Using genuine parts rather than aftermarket alternatives guarantees durability and maintains the vehicle's original performance characteristics.
- Supplied as a Pair — You receive both rear wheel axles in a single purchase, making this an economical solution if you need to replace both sides or keep spares on hand for future maintenance and repairs.
- Direct Compatibility — Designed exclusively for the FTX5557WO FTX Zorro Trophy Truck Brushless RTR, these axles deliver plug-and-play installation without modification or adjustment required, saving you time and frustration during repairs.
- Essential Maintenance Part — Rear wheel axles experience constant rotational stress during driving. Having quality replacement axles on hand means you can get back on the track quickly if damage occurs, without waiting for parts or struggling with incompatible alternatives.

Technical Performance
The FTX Zorro Rear Wheel Axles are engineered to meet the exact specifications required by the FTX Zorro Trophy Truck Brushless RTR platform. As critical drivetrain components, these axles must withstand continuous rotational forces, impacts from uneven terrain, and the power delivery from the brushless motor system. The precision manufacturing ensures smooth rotation and proper wheel alignment, both essential for maintaining the vehicle's handling characteristics and traction. Whether you're driving on gravel, tarmac, or challenging off-road surfaces, these rear axles provide the structural integrity needed for reliable performance. The fact that they are supplied as a matched pair means you maintain balanced performance across both rear wheels, which is crucial for predictable handling and even tyre wear during extended driving sessions.
