Technical Performance

The rear wheel axle is a fundamental component of your RC vehicle's drivetrain system, specifically engineered to transfer rotational force from the differential to your rear wheels. FTX has designed the FTX10138N as an updated revision of their rear axle component, incorporating design improvements that enhance durability and performance in demanding off-road conditions. The axle connects to the wheel hubs through precision-engineered splines that ensure positive power transfer without slipping or binding. Materials and construction have been optimised through FTX's engineering process to withstand the forces generated by brushless motors, aggressive acceleration, and high-speed impacts typical of 1/10 scale RC bashing. Whether you're driving your Ramraider monster truck across rough terrain, pushing your Apache trophy truck through high-speed runs, or jumping your Crossbow truggy, the rear wheel axle must be capable of handling sustained stress. The updated design of the FTX10138N reflects lessons learned from thousands of hours of real-world RC driving by FTX's development team, resulting in a component that offers improved strength and longevity compared to the original version.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the FTX10138N rear wheel axle compatible with my FTX model? — The FTX10138N rear wheel axle is compatible with the FTX Apache 2.0 1/10 Brushless Trophy Truck (both red and blue variants), FTX Crossbow 1/10 Brushless Truggy Truck (both green and blue variants), and FTX Ramraider 1/10 Monster Truck in both brushed and brushless editions (available in multiple colour schemes including blue, orange, red/blue, and green/blue). Check your model name to confirm compatibility before ordering.
• What does it mean that this is an updated component? — The FTX10138N is a revised version of the original rear wheel axle, incorporating engineering improvements from FTX. The updated design is specifically engineered to work with the updated FTX10130N rear dogbones. This means you should ensure all your drivetrain components are updated versions for optimal compatibility and performance.
• How difficult is it to replace the rear wheel axle on my RC truck? — Replacing a rear wheel axle is a moderately straightforward task for anyone with basic RC maintenance experience. You'll need to remove the wheel, access the axle fasteners, and slide the axle out before installing the new one. Most experienced RC hobbyists can complete this task in 15-20 minutes per side. If you're new to RC maintenance, our team at RC Model Shop can offer guidance and support.
• What causes rear wheel axles to fail or need replacement? — Rear axles can become damaged through high-impact crashes, stripped splines from excessive power or aggressive acceleration, or normal wear after extended use. If your rear wheels are spinning without the vehicle moving forward, or if you hear grinding noises from the rear axles, replacement is likely needed.
• Can I use this axle as an upgrade even if my original still works? — Yes, many RC enthusiasts upgrade to the updated FTX10138N rear wheel axle as a preventative maintenance step or performance upgrade, especially if they run brushless motors or enjoy aggressive off-road bashing. The updated design offers improved durability and reliability.
• Is this a left or right axle, or does it work on both sides? — The FTX10138N rear wheel axle part number represents the component, and you would need two of these units (one for each side) to replace both rear axles on your RC vehicle. Order quantity accordingly based on whether you're replacing one or both sides.
