FAQs
Is this part compatible with other FTX models?
No, this rear axle housing is specifically designed for the FTX Tracker model (FTX10254). Compatibility with other models is not guaranteed.
Do I need to purchase gears separately?
This is the housing only. You will need to transfer the internal differential gears and other components from your existing axle assembly or purchase them separately if they are damaged or missing.
What tools are required for installation?
Typical RC car tools such as Phillips head screwdrivers, hex drivers, and possibly a small wrench or pliers will be needed. Refer to the FTX Tracker service manual for a precise tool list.
How often should I inspect the rear axle housing?
It is recommended to inspect the housing for cracks or damage after each significant run, especially if operating in rough conditions. Regular cleaning will also help identify potential issues early.
Can I use aftermarket differential upgrades with this housing?
This housing is designed for the stock FTX Tracker differential components. The compatibility with aftermarket upgrades would depend on the specifications of those upgrade parts and may require modifications.
What is the expected lifespan of this part?
The lifespan depends heavily on usage conditions and maintenance. Under normal use and with proper care, it should provide durable service. However, impacts and extreme stress can lead to premature failure.
Troubleshooting
Rear wheels wobble or feel loose
Check that the axle housing is securely mounted and all fasteners are tightened. Ensure internal bearings are correctly seated and undamaged.
Unusual noises from the rear drivetrain
Inspect the axle housing for cracks. Ensure the differential gears inside are properly meshed and lubricated according to the FTX Tracker manual. Check for any debris caught within the housing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This rear axle housing is designed exclusively for the FTX Tracker RC model. Ensure your vehicle is the specified FTX Tracker model before attempting installation.
Setup: Installation typically involves carefully transferring the internal differential components (gears, bearings, etc.) from the old housing to the new one. Refer to your FTX Tracker's official service manual for detailed, step-by-step instructions. Ensure all screws and fasteners are tightened appropriately, but do not overtighten, which could strip threads or crack the housing.
Care: After use, especially in dusty or wet conditions, clean the exterior of the axle housing with a soft, dry brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents. Regularly inspect the housing for any signs of cracks or damage. Ensure the mounting points remain clean and free of debris to facilitate proper installation and maintenance.
