Technical Performance
The FTX Utah 2.0 20t Bevel Gear represents quality precision engineering in a compact form factor. Bevel gears serve a critical function in RC crawler drivetrains, transferring rotational force from the motor and transmission to the axles at the correct angles for four-wheel drive operation. The 20-tooth specification is integral to the Utah 2.0's gear train, contributing to the overall reduction ratio and torque characteristics that define how the crawler accelerates and climbs. The tooth profile is precision-cut to ensure smooth, quiet engagement with the corresponding pinion and other gears, minimising noise and vibration during operation. FTX components are engineered using quality materials selected for their durability and resistance to the cyclic stresses of RC use. Whether you're running the Utah 2.0 on trail courses, rock gardens or technical obstacle courses, this bevel gear is designed to handle the demands without premature wear or failure. For UK RC hobbyists who demand reliable performance and genuine parts compatibility, this OEM FTX component delivers exactly what you need to keep your crawler running at peak performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a bevel gear and why do I need one for my FTX Utah 2.0? — A bevel gear is a precision-cut component that transmits power from your RC crawler's transmission to the axles at the correct angle. In four-wheel drive crawlers like the Utah 2.0, bevel gears are essential for distributing engine power to all four wheels. Over time, through wear, impact damage or stripped teeth, these gears may need replacement to maintain smooth, reliable drivetrain operation.
- Is this the correct part for my Utah 2.0 crawler? — Yes, the FTX11516 is the genuine 20-tooth bevel gear designed specifically for the FTX Utah 2.0 platform. Always verify you have the correct model before purchasing spare parts to ensure proper fitment and function.
- How often should I replace the bevel gear on my RC crawler? — The lifespan of a bevel gear depends on how intensively you use your crawler, the terrain you tackle, and how well you maintain your drivetrain. Regular inspection during routine maintenance helps identify wear early. If you notice grinding noises, vibration, or loss of drive, it's time to inspect and potentially replace the bevel gear.
- Can I install this bevel gear myself? — If you have experience with RC car maintenance and possess basic RC tools, you may be able to install this component yourself by carefully disassembling the relevant drivetrain section. However, if you're inexperienced with RC repair, consider asking for help from an experienced RC enthusiast or visiting a hobby shop that offers assembly services.
- Why should I choose genuine FTX parts over aftermarket alternatives? — Genuine FTX parts are engineered to the exact specifications of your Utah 2.0, guaranteeing perfect fitment and performance. They're manufactured to the same standards as the original components your crawler left the factory with, ensuring reliability and long service life. Genuine parts also maintain your RC crawler's resale value and ensure compatibility with future upgrades.
