FAQs
Are these gears a direct replacement for the stock ones?
Yes, the FTX9347 metal transmission gears are designed as a direct replacement for the stock gears in the FTX Outback Mini XP Evo.
What tools are needed for installation?
Installation typically requires basic RC maintenance tools, including small screwdrivers, possibly hex drivers, and a gear mesh adjustment tool. Refer to your vehicle's manual for specific tool requirements.
Will these metal gears add significant weight to my RC car?
Metal gears are generally heavier than plastic. While the increase is usually minimal for a single set of gears, it could contribute slightly to the overall vehicle weight.
Can I use these gears with other FTX models?
No, these gears are specifically designed for the FTX Outback Mini XP Evo. Using them in other models may result in improper fit and potential damage.
How do I lubricate the metal transmission gears?
Apply a small amount of RC-specific grease or lubricant to the gear teeth before assembly. Ensure even distribution for smooth operation.
What is the expected lifespan of these metal gears?
Metal gears are significantly more durable than plastic and are expected to last much longer, especially under normal to heavy use. Lifespan depends on driving conditions and maintenance.
Troubleshooting
Grinding noise from the transmission
Check gear mesh; ensure gears are not binding and are properly aligned. Verify that no debris is trapped in the gearbox.
Loss of drive or slipping gears
Confirm that gears are securely fitted and that the gearbox is correctly assembled. The motor pinion might need adjustment.
Difficulty installing gears
Double-check compatibility with your specific FTX Outback Mini XP Evo model. Ensure all old parts are fully removed and the gearbox is clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This product is exclusively compatible with the FTX Outback Mini XP Evo RC vehicle. Ensure your model matches this specification before purchasing.
Setup:
Installation involves replacing the existing transmission gears within the RC vehicle's gearbox. This process typically requires:
- Disassembling the gearbox housing.
- Carefully removing the old gears.
- Installing the new metal gears, paying close attention to alignment and mesh with other components.
- Reassembling the gearbox housing.
It is recommended to consult the official FTX Outback Mini XP Evo manual for detailed disassembly and reassembly instructions. Using a suitable lubricant on the gears is advised during installation to ensure smooth operation.
Care:
While metal gears are durable, maintaining the overall drivetrain is important. Regularly inspect for dirt and debris within the gearbox and clean as necessary. Ensure the gears are properly lubricated. Avoid excessive force or impact that could damage the gearbox housing or surrounding components, even with the upgraded gears.
