Overview
The FTX Rally MK2RS 19T 32DP Pinion Gear (FTX11370) is a premium replacement component designed specifically for the FTX MK2RS 1/10th brushless rally car. Whether you're a dedicated rally enthusiast, a competitive RC racer in the UK, or someone who simply wants to maintain their RC car at peak performance, this genuine OEM pinion gear is an essential spare part to keep in your toolbox. Rally racing demands precision engineering and reliable components, and this pinion gear delivers exactly that.
Pinion gears are critical drivetrain components that transfer power from your brushless motor to the main transmission, directly affecting acceleration, top speed and overall performance of your RC rally car. Over time, through intensive racing, bashing or competitive use, pinion gears can wear out or become damaged. Having a quality replacement on hand means you can keep your FTX MK2RS ready to run whenever the mood strikes. This is the genuine FTX replacement part, manufactured to the same exacting standards as the original equipment fitted to new MK2RS models.
RC Model Shop stocks this pinion gear as part of our comprehensive range of FTX spare parts and accessories for UK customers. Whether you need a quick replacement before a big race meeting or you're building up a spare parts collection for your 1/10th rally car, this is the component you need.
Key Features
- 19 Tooth Count — A 19-tooth pinion gear offers a balanced setup that provides good acceleration and mid-range performance characteristics for 1/10th scale rally racing without sacrificing top-end speed, making it suitable for a wide variety of racing conditions and track layouts.
- 32DP Gear Pitch — The 32-diametral pitch specification ensures perfect meshing compatibility with the main transmission gears on the FTX MK2RS, guaranteeing smooth power delivery and minimal drivetrain noise during operation.
- 3.2mm Bore — The precisely machined 3.2mm bore is engineered to fit perfectly onto the motor shaft of brushless motors used in the MK2RS platform, ensuring secure fitment without slippage or wobble.
- Genuine OEM Component — This is the authentic FTX replacement part, manufactured to the same standards and tolerances as the original equipment, guaranteeing compatibility and durability with your MK2RS rally car.
- Direct Compatibility — Specifically designed for the FTX MK2RS 1/10th brushless rally car in both black (FTX5470BK) and white (FTX5470W) versions, so you know exactly that this part will fit your model.
Technical Performance
The FTX Rally MK2RS 19T 32DP pinion gear is a precision-engineered drivetrain component manufactured to the exacting standards demanded by competitive 1/10th scale RC racing. The 32DP (diametral pitch) specification is the industry standard for 1/10th scale RC cars, ensuring that this pinion meshes perfectly with the transmission gears already installed in your MK2RS. The 19-tooth configuration strikes an excellent balance between acceleration and top speed — fewer teeth would provide higher top speed but slower acceleration, whilst more teeth would increase acceleration at the cost of maximum speed. For rally racing, which requires rapid acceleration out of corners combined with reasonable top-end velocity on straights, 19 teeth represents an ideal middle ground. The 3.2mm bore is precisely machined to tolerances that ensure a tight, wobble-free fit on your brushless motor shaft, critical for maintaining drivetrain efficiency and reducing parasitic power losses. The hardened steel or similar high-strength material construction ensures durability through thousands of meshing cycles with the main transmission gears, resisting wear and tooth damage even under the demanding conditions of competitive rally racing or aggressive bashing. Whether you're pushing your FTX MK2RS to its limits on the track or enjoying weekend bash sessions, this pinion gear will deliver reliable performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does a pinion gear do in an RC car? — The pinion gear is a small but critical component that sits on your brushless motor shaft and meshes with the spur gear in the transmission. It transfers the rotational power from the motor into the main drivetrain, directly affecting how quickly your RC car accelerates and how fast it can go. A smaller tooth count (like 19T) gives higher top speed, whilst a larger tooth count gives more acceleration but lower top speed.
- Will this pinion gear fit my FTX MK2RS? — Yes, this genuine FTX replacement component is specifically designed for the FTX MK2RS 1/10th brushless rally car, and is compatible with both the black (FTX5470BK) and white (FTX5470W) versions. The 3.2mm bore and 32DP specification are standard for this platform.
- When should I replace my pinion gear? — You should inspect your pinion gear regularly, particularly if you race competitively or bash frequently. Look for stripped teeth, cracks, or visible wear. If you notice sluggish acceleration, unusual drivetrain noise, or slipping under power, it's time to replace the pinion. Many RC racers in the UK carry spare pinion gears to be ready for any situation during race meetings.
- Is this gear suitable for both beginners and experienced RC enthusiasts? — This is a genuine OEM replacement component, so it's suitable for anyone who owns an FTX MK2RS, regardless of experience level. If you're new to RC cars, keep a spare on hand just in case. If you're an experienced racer or basher, having backup drivetrain components like this is simply sensible maintenance.
- What is 32DP and why does it matter? — DP stands for diametral pitch and refers to the tooth profile of the gear. 32DP is the standard specification for 1/10th scale RC cars like the FTX MK2RS. Using the correct DP ensures perfect meshing with your transmission gears, smooth power delivery, and longevity of the entire drivetrain system. Using incorrect DP gears would result in poor meshing, efficiency loss, and accelerated wear.
