FTX Stinger 17T Drive Pinion Gear 2 Piece Spare Part for 1/10 RC Cars FTX10527

Overview

The FTX Stinger 17T Drive Pinion Gear (2pc) is an essential spare part for FTX RC car enthusiasts who demand reliable performance from their on-road street racing machines. Whether you're driving the FTX EVO30 or FTX Stinger brushless street car, these precision-engineered pinion gears are engineered to deliver smooth power transfer and consistent acceleration. As a dedicated RC car UK retailer, we recognise that drivetrain components like pinion gears are critical to maintaining peak performance, and FTX's quality manufacturing ensures you get genuine, durable parts that keep your RC vehicle running at its best.

Pinion gears are a fundamental component of any RC car's drivetrain system, working in conjunction with the spur gear to transfer engine power directly to the wheels. The 17-tooth configuration is specifically designed for the FTX Stinger and EVO30 range of 1/10 scale on-road street cars, providing the optimal balance between acceleration and top speed. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying casual street racing or a more serious RC enthusiast pushing your machine to the limit, a quality spare pinion gear in your toolkit is absolutely essential. Wear and tear on drivetrain components is inevitable in RC racing, and having replacement gears on hand means you can keep your ready to run RC car on the track without delays.

This pack contains two 17-tooth pinion gears, giving you a spare set ready for immediate installation or future use. FTX's engineering standards ensure that these gears mesh perfectly with the spur gear, minimising backlash and maximising power transfer efficiency. If you own an FTX EVO30 or FTX Stinger brushless RC street car, this is a genuine spare part you should keep in your spares box.

Key Features

• 17-Tooth Configuration — The 17-tooth count is precisely engineered for the FTX Stinger and EVO30 on-road street cars, providing the ideal gear ratio for balanced acceleration and speed performance on tarmac and concrete surfaces.
• Two-Piece Pack — You receive two pinion gears in this pack, giving you a complete spare set or the ability to replace both gears simultaneously for maximum drivetrain consistency and performance.
• Genuine FTX Component — These are authentic FTX spare parts manufactured to OEM specifications, ensuring perfect compatibility and reliability with your FTX Stinger or EVO30 vehicle.
• Direct Power Transfer — High-quality pinion gears are essential for minimising power loss between the motor and wheels, ensuring your brushless motor's full output is effectively converted to forward motion.
• Wear Resistance — FTX's manufacturing processes produce gears with excellent durability, resisting wear even under regular use, meaning your drivetrain performs consistently over extended periods.
• Perfect Mesh Compatibility — These gears are engineered to mesh precisely with the corresponding spur gear in your FTX Stinger or EVO30, eliminating excessive backlash that could compromise handling and efficiency.

Technical Performance

The FTX Stinger 17T Drive Pinion Gear represents the engineering standard expected in modern 1/10 scale on-road street racing machines. These gears are manufactured using durable materials selected specifically to withstand the demands of brushless motor systems, which deliver significantly higher power outputs than brushed alternatives. The 17-tooth configuration provides a carefully calculated gear ratio designed to work seamlessly within the FTX EVO30 and FTX Stinger drivetrain systems, both of which utilise brushless motors for superior performance. When paired with the appropriate spur gear, these pinion gears ensure smooth, efficient power delivery with minimal noise and vibration. The precision engineering of FTX components means that gear mesh tolerances are maintained within exacting specifications, preventing the kind of slop and inefficiency that can develop with lower-quality aftermarket parts. Whether you're running your FTX Stinger in grey or red, or your EVO30 in black or red, these gears will maintain consistent drivetrain performance. Regular inspection of pinion gears is recommended for racers who use their ready to run RC cars frequently, as the combination of high RPM motors and aggressive acceleration can eventually wear even quality gears. Having spare gears on hand ensures you can maintain your vehicle at peak performance without waiting for replacement parts to arrive.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What FTX models are these pinion gears compatible with? — These 17-tooth pinion gears are specifically designed for the FTX Stinger 1/10 on-road street brushless RTR cars (both grey and red variants) and the FTX EVO30 1/10 brushed and brushless street cars (available in black and red). They are genuine OEM spare parts engineered to fit perfectly within these models' drivetrain systems.
• Why would I need replacement pinion gears for my RC car? — Pinion gears experience wear over time through normal use, particularly in high-performance brushless RC cars where motor speeds are extremely high. If you notice clicking noises during acceleration, reduced efficiency, or excessive vibration, worn pinion gears may be the cause. Having spares allows you to continue racing whilst you maintain your drivetrain in peak condition.
• How difficult is it to install new pinion gears? — Pinion gear replacement is a straightforward maintenance task that most RC car owners can perform with basic tools. The gears typically slide onto the motor shaft and are secured with a small clip or grub screw. If you're unfamiliar with the process, our team at RC Model Shop in Walsall are happy to provide guidance or perform the installation for you.
• Can I use these gears on other RC car brands? — These are genuine FTX spare parts designed specifically for FTX Stinger and EVO30 models. Whilst the tooth count (17T) may be available for other brands, we recommend using only genuine FTX components for FTX vehicles to ensure perfect compatibility and performance. Using incorrect or incompatible gears can cause drivetrain damage and poor handling characteristics.
• How long do pinion gears typically last? — The lifespan of pinion gears depends heavily on usage patterns. Casual recreational use might allow gears to last many months, whilst intensive racing or aggressive bashing can wear gears noticeably faster. Regular maintenance, proper lubrication, and correct gear mesh alignment will extend gear life significantly.
