Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a gear shaft set and why does my FTX Texan need one? — The gear shaft set is a critical drivetrain component that connects and supports the gears within your transmission system.

When this happens, you may notice grinding noises, loss of power delivery, or difficulty engaging gears. Replacing the gear shaft set with this genuine FTX component restores smooth, reliable drivetrain operation.
- How often should I replace the gear shaft set on my RC car? — The frequency of replacement depends entirely on your driving habits and the conditions in which you operate your FTX Texan. Casual weekend drivers might go years without needing replacement, whilst competitive racers or those who frequently bash through rough terrain may need to replace shafts more regularly.
