Technical Performance
The FTX Outback Wheel Hex with Pins represents fundamental drivetrain engineering that underpins reliable RC vehicle performance. These 2x10mm hex pins are the connectors that bind wheel hubs to drive shafts, transmitting torque from the vehicle's motor and transmission to the wheels where traction is generated. In RC cars, whether you're running a brushless motor on a ready to run RTR model or pushing your vehicle to its limits on a race course, drivetrain components experience tremendous stress during acceleration, braking, and cornering. Quality hex pins prevent wheel slippage, maintain consistent handling characteristics, and reduce parasitic power losses that would otherwise rob your vehicle of performance. FTX has engineered these pins from hardened material to resist stripping and deformation, even under the extreme stresses of rock crawling, high-speed bashing, or competitive racing. The precision fit ensures there's minimal play in the wheel connection, which translates directly to sharper steering response and more predictable vehicle behaviour. Whether your RC vehicle is powered by an electric brushless system or running on a petrol engine, these hex pins perform equally well, making them genuinely universal spares for any FTX Outback model or similarly-sized RC vehicle using compatible drivetrain specifications.

By purchasing this four-pack, you ensure you have spares available whenever you need them, eliminating waiting time during repair sessions.
