Compatible models

• FTX Vantage

• FTX Carnage

• FTX Outlaw

• FTX Banzai

• FTX Kanyon

(Any FTX model using the same gearbox and differential layout.)

What the Part Does

• These spur gears sit inside the gearbox/differential assembly.

• They transfer power from the differential to the rest of the drivetrain.

• They are made from plastic and are a normal wear item.

Signs they need replacing

• Clicking or grinding noises from the gearbox

• Loss of drive or slipping under power

• Visible stripped or rounded gear teeth

Tools You'll Need

• Small hex (Allen) drivers (usually 1.5-2.5 mm)

• Small screwdriver (depending on model)

• Needle-nose pliers (optional)

• Clean work area and something to hold screws

How to Fit FTX6229

1. Access the Gearbox

• Remove the body shell.

• Remove the gearbox cover or open the gearbox housing to expose the differential.

2. Open the Differential / Gearbox

• Unscrew the gearbox or diff cover.

• Carefully lift it off.

• Note how the gears are positioned (a quick photo helps).

3. Remove the Old Spur Gear(s)

• Locate the diff drive spur gear(s).

• Remove any retaining clip, pin, or screw holding the gear in place.

• Slide the worn gear off the shaft.

4. Prepare the New Gear(s)

• Compare the new FTX6229 gears with the old ones.

• Ensure tooth count and size match.

5. Install the New Spur Gear(s)

• Slide the new gear(s) onto the shaft in the same orientation.

• Refit any clips or screws.

• Check the gear spins freely without binding.

6. Reassemble the Gearbox

• Reinstall the gearbox/diff cover.

• Tighten screws evenly (do not overtighten into plastic).

• Spin the drivetrain by hand to check smooth operation.

7. Final Check

• Refit the body shell.

• Turn the wheels by hand.

• Power up gently and check for smooth, quiet operation.

Tips

• If a spur gear has stripped, check the pinion gear as well.

• Repeated stripping can be caused by incorrect motor mesh, worn bearings, or debris in the gearbox.

• Keeping spare spur gears is recommended as they are cheap but essential.
