FAQs

Are these axle covers compatible with the FTX Carnage model?

No, the FTX9227 Alloy Rear Straight Axle Covers are specifically designed for the FTX Outback Fury and FTX Hi-Rock models. Compatibility with other FTX models is not guaranteed.

Do these covers fit the front axle?

No, these are designed exclusively for the rear straight axle of the specified models. Front axle parts may differ.

What material are these axle covers made from?

They are made from durable aluminum alloy.

How many axle covers are included in this set?

This product includes two alloy rear straight axle covers.

Is installation difficult?

Installation is straightforward as they are designed to be direct replacements. Basic RC maintenance skills are sufficient. Ensure you do not overtighten screws.

Will these add significant weight to my RC car?

While alloy is denser than plastic, these parts are generally lightweight and designed to maintain a good balance. The increase in weight is usually minimal and offset by the gain in durability.

Can I use these in wet or muddy conditions?

Yes, the aluminum alloy construction is resistant to corrosion and suitable for use in various environmental conditions, including wet and muddy terrain.

Troubleshooting

Axle cover does not fit correctly

Verify that you have the correct model (FTX Outback Fury/Hi-Rock) and are attempting to install on the rear axle. Ensure no debris is obstructing the mounting points.

Screws won't tighten or strip easily

Stop immediately. You may be cross-threading or overtightening. Try backing out the screw and re-aligning carefully. Ensure you are using the correct size screws that came with the original part or compatible replacements.

Axle cover comes loose during operation

Check that all screws are tightened appropriately (snug but not overtightened). Consider using a small amount of thread-locking compound (low strength) on the screws if the issue persists, ensuring it is RC-safe.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly increases the durability of the rear axle.
  • Improves protection against impacts and abrasion.
  • Made from strong, lightweight aluminum alloy.
  • Designed for a precise fit on compatible FTX models.
  • Easy to install as a direct replacement part.

Cons

  • Only upgrades the rear axle; front axle requires separate parts if available.
  • Requires careful alignment during installation to avoid stripping threads.
  • May add a small amount of weight compared to stock plastic parts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This product, FTX9227, is specifically designed for the rear straight axle of the FTX Outback Fury and FTX Hi-Rock remote control models. Ensure your vehicle model matches this specification before purchasing.

Setup (Installation):

  1. Carefully remove the existing rear axle covers from your FTX Outback Fury or Hi-Rock.
  2. Clean the mounting area to ensure a debris-free surface.
  3. Align the new alloy axle cover with the axle housing. The screw holes should line up precisely.
  4. Gently insert and tighten the screws. *Do not overtighten*, as this can strip the threads or damage the housing.
  5. Repeat for the second cover if replacing both sides.

Care:

  • Periodically check the axle covers for any signs of damage or looseness.
  • Clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Inspect screws and ensure they remain snug but not overtightened.
