Technical Performance
The FTX Mauler/Fury/Hi-Rock Rear Straight Axle Cover represents a critical chassis component within the FTX portfolio of 1/10 scale rock crawlers. Rock crawling is an exacting discipline that demands absolute durability and protection of all mechanical components, as vehicles navigate rocky terrain, water crossings, and challenging obstacles that would test the robustness of any RC drivetrain. These axle covers play a vital protective role in the overall system engineering. Manufactured from durable plastics designed to withstand the punishment of outdoor RC use, these covers integrate seamlessly with the rear axle assembly on the FTX Mauler 2.0, FTX Outback Fury, and FTX Outback Hi-Rock platforms. The engineering philosophy behind FTX's rock crawler range emphasises reliability and longevity, and these OEM covers are integral to that mission. By protecting the axle from ingress of mud, dust, and moisture, they help maintain smooth operation of the transmission system and extend the service life of critical drivetrain bearings and seals. The two-piece configuration provides comprehensive coverage whilst allowing access for maintenance when required. For UK RC enthusiasts committed to running their crawlers in challenging British terrain—from muddy forest trails to rocky quarries—these covers represent an essential maintenance consumable that should be kept in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these axle covers fit my FTX rock crawler? — These genuine OEM FTX covers are manufactured to original specifications and will fit perfectly on the FTX Mauler 2.0 (both yellow and red variants), FTX Outback Fury, and FTX Outback Hi-Rock models. Always verify your specific model number before purchasing to ensure compatibility with your vehicle.
- How difficult is it to install these covers? — Installation is straightforward and requires no specialist tools. The two-piece design slots into place on the rear axle assembly, and can typically be fitted or removed in just a few minutes, making this an ideal job for beginners learning basic maintenance on their RC crawler.
- Why would I need replacement axle covers? — During regular off-road use, axle covers can become cracked, damaged, or lost, particularly if your crawler encounters rocky terrain or impacts. Replacing them maintains the protective function of the axle assembly and restores the authentic scale appearance of your vehicle. Keeping spare covers on hand ensures you can keep running even if damage occurs during a session.
- Are these covers essential for my rock crawler? — Whilst your crawler will still function without covers, they serve an important protective purpose by shielding the axle assembly from dirt, mud, and water ingress that could damage internal components and compromise the smooth operation of your drivetrain. For any serious RC crawler enthusiast, these covers should be considered a maintenance essential rather than an optional upgrade.
- Can I upgrade to aluminium covers? — Yes, FTX offers aluminium upgrade alternatives for buyers seeking enhanced durability and a more premium appearance. An FTX Fury Aluminium Rear Straight Axle Covers (2-piece) set is available as an upgrade option if you want to step up from the standard plastic covers.
- Where can I get genuine FTX spare parts in the UK? — As an authorised FTX retailer, RC Model Shop stocks genuine OEM FTX components and spares for all popular FTX models. Buying from an official retailer guarantees you receive authentic factory parts rather than counterfeit alternatives.
