This design also allows for quick replacement if either piece becomes damaged during use.

This straightforward engineering means fewer components to fail and a more robust solution for trail crawling and rock climbing applications where reliability is paramount.
- FTX Quality Manufacturing — These hubs are manufactured by FTX to the same exacting standards as the vehicles they're designed for. FTX is renowned in the RC community for delivering quality components that perform consistently and withstand the demands of off-road RC driving, whether you're bashing at the local field or tackling technical rock crawling courses.

This ensures that your wheel assembly remains properly aligned and balanced, which is critical for maintaining control and predictable handling characteristics.
- Essential Replacement Spare — Over time, hubs can become worn, damaged, or accumulate wear from repeated use in abrasive terrain.

Regular replacement of wear items like hubs helps prevent more costly damage to other drivetrain components.
Technical Performance
The Solid Axle Hub is a critical component of your FTX Outback Fury or Hi-Rock 4x4 crawler's drivetrain system. As a solid axle hub, this component directly interfaces with your crawler's wheel assembly and axle shaft, bearing the loads generated during climbing, crawling, and general off-road use. The solid construction provides excellent durability compared to more complex hub designs, as there are fewer moving parts and potential failure points. The engineering ensures that wheels remain properly retained and centred on the axle, which is essential for maintaining the precise handling characteristics required in technical rock crawling and trail running. The two-piece design allows for straightforward installation using basic RC tools, making this an ideal maintenance item that owners can replace themselves without specialist knowledge. Whether you're running your FTX crawler through muddy terrain, sandy washes, or rocky outcrops, these hubs will maintain consistent performance and wheel retention. The material selection and manufacturing process ensure that these hubs can handle the repeated stresses of off-road RC driving, providing reliable service life and value for money. For those using their ready to run RC vehicles regularly, keeping spare hubs on hand is a smart maintenance strategy that prevents unexpected downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicles are these hubs compatible with? — These solid axle hubs are specifically designed for the FTX Outback Fury and the FTX Hi-Rock 4x4 RTR 1/10 scale trail rock crawler. They are not compatible with other FTX models or non-FTX RC vehicles, so please verify your vehicle model before purchasing.
- Why would I need replacement hubs for my RC crawler? — Over the course of regular use, especially in demanding off-road conditions, hubs can wear out, become damaged, or develop play in the wheel assembly. Replacing worn hubs restores proper wheel alignment and helps prevent further damage to your axle system. If you notice your wheels wobbling, rattling, or not spinning freely, it's often a sign that your hubs need replacement.

The two-piece design makes removal and installation simple, typically taking just a few minutes per wheel. If you're new to RC vehicle maintenance, installing these hubs is an excellent way to learn basic drivetrain servicing.
- Will these hubs work with aftermarket wheels and tyres? — Yes, these hubs are designed to work with standard wheel hex and bearing assemblies used in the FTX Outback Fury and Hi-Rock range. As long as you're using compatible wheels designed for these crawlers, the hubs will function properly.
- How often should I replace my hubs? — The lifespan of your hubs depends on how frequently you use your RC crawler and the terrain you drive on. Regular inspection during routine maintenance will help you identify when replacement is necessary. Some users may go months without needing replacement, whilst others who regularly bash their crawlers may need to replace hubs more frequently.
- Can I use these hubs on both front and rear axles? — These hubs are designed as universal replacements for the FTX Outback Fury and Hi-Rock, and should be compatible with both front and rear axle positions. The two-piece pack allows you to replace hubs on one or both axles as needed.
