FAQs

Are these gears compatible with the FTX Kratos model?

The FTX Diff Bevel Gears Small (FTX6231) are specifically designed for the FTX Vantage, Carnage, Outlaw, and Banzai models. Compatibility with other FTX models like the Kratos is not guaranteed and would require cross-referencing part numbers or consulting the Kratos manual.

How often should I replace my differential bevel gears?

Replacement frequency depends heavily on usage intensity and conditions. Inspect gears regularly for wear. If you notice performance degradation or hear unusual noises from the differential, it's time to inspect and potentially replace them.

Can I use these gears in a different brand RC car?

These gears are precision-engineered for specific FTX models. Using them in RC cars from other brands is not recommended as they may not fit correctly or mesh properly with other components, potentially causing damage.

Do I need to replace all gears in the differential at once?

It is generally recommended to replace both bevel gears within the differential at the same time to ensure balanced wear and performance. If only one is significantly worn, replacing both will maintain consistency.

What tools are needed to install these gears?

Basic RC repair tools are usually required, including small screwdrivers, hex drivers, and potentially pliers or picks for handling small parts. Refer to your specific FTX model's manual for a detailed list of tools needed for differential maintenance.

Where can I find a manual for my FTX model?

Original manuals are often included with the RC car. If lost, you can typically find PDF versions by searching online for '[Your FTX Model Name] manual' or checking the official FTX website or retailer product pages.

Troubleshooting

Differential making grinding noise

Check that the bevel gears are correctly installed and meshed. Ensure no debris is present in the differential housing. Verify that all differential screws are tightened appropriately.

Uneven power to wheels or poor acceleration

Inspect the bevel gears for wear or stripped teeth. If worn, replace the gears. Ensure the differential is properly lubricated.

RC car pulls to one side during turns

This could indicate worn differential gears. Replace the FTX6231 bevel gears. Also, check for any binding in the drivetrain or suspension on one side.
