Technical Performance
The FTX Mighty Thunder/Kanyon 19T Gear represents a critical component in your vehicle's drivetrain system. This gear operates within the transmission assembly, working in coordination with your pinion and spur gears to achieve the desired gear ratio and power delivery characteristics. The 19-tooth configuration is engineered to provide an intermediate ratio option within the FTX Kanyon and Mighty Thunder range, allowing drivers to fine-tune their vehicle's performance based on terrain type and driving style. For trail crawlers operating in the 1/10 scale category, gear selection is crucial—the 19T option sits between the lower-ratio 15T pinion gear and the higher-ratio 22T gear, providing versatility for different crawling conditions. The gear is manufactured from durable materials chosen for their wear resistance and strength under the continuous stress of off-road driving. When integrated into your vehicle's complete drivetrain—alongside the gearbox housing (FTX8425), central differential shaft (FTX8423), slipper shaft (FTX8424), and other transmission components—this gear ensures smooth, efficient power transfer from your motor to the wheels. The precision engineering means minimal backlash and noise during operation, which is particularly important for technical crawling where smooth throttle control is essential. Whether you're running standard brushed or brushless motors typical in FTX crawlers, this gear will maintain compatibility and performance. The tooth profile is designed to mesh cleanly with complementary gears, reducing wear and extending the lifespan of your entire drivetrain system.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the 19T gear used for in my FTX Kanyon crawler? — The 19-tooth gear is a transmission component that works with your pinion and spur gears to create your vehicle's overall gear ratio. It affects how power is transferred from the motor to the wheels, influencing acceleration, top speed, and torque characteristics. The 19T size provides a mid-range ratio option between the 15T and 22T alternatives.
- Will this FTX 19T gear fit my Mighty Thunder or Kanyon? — Yes, this part is specifically designed for both FTX Kanyon models (including the FTX5563 Kanyon 4x4 RTR 1:10 XL Trail Crawler and FTX5563R Kanyon 4x4 Mountain Rescue 2-Speed RTR) and FTX Mighty Thunder variants. It is not compatible with other FTX model lines, so please verify your model before ordering.
- How often do I need to replace my transmission gears? — Transmission gears typically require replacement only when damaged or excessively worn. Normal use involves minimal gear wear, but aggressive driving, crashes, or running in sandy/dusty conditions can accelerate wear. Many RC enthusiasts keep spare gears on hand for quick repairs when damage occurs, minimising downtime.
- What other gear options are available for my FTX Kanyon? — FTX offers the 15T pinion gear (FTX8432) for lower ratios and the 22T gear (FTX8428) for higher ratios. The 70T spur gear (FTX8439) is also available as a matching component. Different gear combinations allow you to optimise your vehicle's performance for specific terrain types or driving preferences.
- Do I need any tools to install this gear? — Gear installation typically requires access to your vehicle's gearbox housing and familiarity with transmission assembly. You'll need basic RC tools such as hex wrenches and potentially a gear puller. If you're uncomfortable with transmission work, your local RC hobby shop may offer installation services.
- Is this a genuine FTX part? — Yes, this is an original FTX spare part (model number FTX8427) manufactured to the same specifications and quality standards as parts supplied with factory-assembled vehicles. Genuine OEM parts ensure perfect compatibility and longevity.
