Technical Performance
The FTX Utah 2.0 Dual Gear (16T-38T) represents precision engineering designed specifically for the rock crawling discipline. The 16-tooth and 38-tooth gear configuration provides a distinct gear ratio that influences how power is delivered from the motor to the wheels, affecting both acceleration characteristics and top speed potential. In rock crawling applications, gearing is critical because it determines how the vehicle responds to throttle input on steep inclines, rocky terrain, and technical obstacles. The dual gear setup allows Utah 2.0 drivers to select the most appropriate ratio for their driving conditions—whether prioritising low-end torque for climbing steep rock faces or opting for increased wheel speed when crossing open terrain. The manufacturing quality meets FTX's established standards for spare components, ensuring the gears mesh smoothly within the gearbox assembly without binding or excessive backlash. These gears are compatible with the Utah 2.0's complete drivetrain system, integrating seamlessly with the motor pinion, gearbox assembly, and transmission components. For enthusiasts in the UK looking to extract maximum performance from their FTX Utah 2.0 crawlers, having alternative gearing options represents a smart investment that costs far less than replacing the entire transmission system.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a dual gear and why would I need to replace mine? — A dual gear set contains two gears with different tooth counts that work together in your Utah 2.0's gearbox to transfer power from the motor to the wheels. Over time, gears can wear, strip teeth, or become damaged through intense driving or crashes. Replacing them restores smooth power delivery and prevents drivetrain noise or loss of performance. Having multiple gear ratios available also lets you experiment with different setups to optimise your crawler's handling characteristics.
- How do the 16T-38T gears compare to other FTX Utah 2.0 gear options? — The 16T-38T configuration offers a specific gear ratio that provides different performance characteristics compared to alternatives like the 17T-33T option. The difference in tooth counts changes how the gears mesh and the overall reduction ratio, affecting acceleration and top speed. Choosing between different dual gear configurations lets you tailor your Utah 2.0 to match your preferred driving style and the types of terrain you encounter most frequently.
- Is this a direct replacement for my FTX Utah 2.0? — Yes, this dual gear set is designed specifically as a spare part for the FTX Utah 2.0 platform and installs directly into your gearbox assembly without requiring modifications or additional components. Simply remove the worn gears and install this genuine FTX replacement to restore smooth drivetrain operation.
- Will this improve my Utah 2.0's performance? — This dual gear set restores your Utah 2.0 to proper working condition if your current gears are worn or damaged. If you're upgrading from a different gear ratio, swapping to the 16T-38T configuration will alter your vehicle's acceleration and top speed characteristics. Whether this represents an improvement depends on your specific driving conditions and preferences—some drivers prioritise raw torque for climbing, whilst others prefer increased wheel speed for general bashing.
- What tools do I need to install these gears? — You'll need basic RC maintenance tools including hex keys and screwdrivers to remove the gearbox assembly. Detailed installation guidance specific to the Utah 2.0 platform is available in the vehicle's manual or through FTX technical resources.
