Technical Performance
The FTX Outlaw Central Driveshaft is a precision-engineered drivetrain component manufactured to exacting standards for use in 1/10 scale off-road RC vehicles. This central driveshaft connects the transmission output to the rear axle assembly, transferring engine or motor power directly to the rear wheels whilst accommodating suspension articulation. FTX has designed this component to withstand the demanding conditions of off-road RC racing and bashing, incorporating materials and tolerances that ensure reliable performance through high-stress driving situations. The driveshaft must maintain precise alignment and balance to prevent vibration, noise, and power loss during aggressive acceleration, cornering, and off-road terrain navigation. Whether you operate a brushed or brushless variant of the Outlaw, or prefer the Trophy Truck styling of the Zorro platform, this central driveshaft meets the exact specifications required for both electrical and mechanical systems. The component's engineering reflects FTX's broader commitment to delivering performance-oriented RC cars for the UK market, where demanding drivers expect parts that can handle both competitive racing and recreational bashing scenarios.
