Additional Information - Image may differ from the part supplied.

Differential Assembly (Axles)

The following differential components are shared across the FTX Outlaw, Kanyon, and Mighty Thunder models.

Differential Spur Gear

FTX6229 - Differential Spur Gear

• Internal differential spur gear used within the axle differential assembly.

• Supplied in packs of two.

• Also compatible with FTX Vantage, Carnage, and Banzai models.

• A common wear item and recommended to replace during a rebuild or when gear noise increases.

Differential Case

FTX6228 - Differential Case

• Plastic differential housing that holds the internal gears and locker.

• Supplied in packs of two.

• Often reused, but worth replacing if worn, cracked, or distorted during servicing.

Internal Differential Locker

FTX8467 - Diff Lock Block

• Internal locking insert that converts the differential into a locked differential.

• Supplied singularly (one per differential).

• Common upgrade for crawling applications to improve traction.

Bearings

FTBB10 - Bearings (10 mm x 15 mm x 4 mm)

• Standard bearings used within the differential and axle assembly.

• Replacing bearings during a rebuild helps ensure smooth, quiet operation and reduces gear wear.

• Always confirm bearings spin freely before installation.

Grease Recommendation

• Use an appropriate RC gearbox or differential grease when rebuilding the differential.

• Apply a light, even coating to the spur gears and internal components - avoid over-packing, which can increase resistance and heat.

• For locked differentials, a medium-weight grease is typically preferred to provide protection while maintaining efficiency.

Screws & Assembly Hardware

• FTX does not supply a dedicated screw kit specifically for the differential internals.

• The differential is assembled using the original screws removed during disassembly, which are designed to be reused.

• Screws are typically standard metric M3 machine screws used throughout FTX drivetrains.

• Exact screw lengths are not officially specified.

Practical Recommendation

• Keep all screws organised during disassembly and reuse them during reassembly.

• If replacements are needed, a general M3 screw assortment (various lengths) is suitable for differential servicing.
