Technical Performance
The FTX Comet Differential Gear Set 10/13T comprises precision-engineered gears manufactured to tight tolerances that ensure smooth meshing and reliable power transmission through the drivetrain. The 10/13T tooth count provides the optimal balance between acceleration and top speed performance for the Comet platform, whilst maintaining the structural integrity required for regular use and moderate racing conditions. These gears are constructed from durable materials selected specifically for the demands of RC vehicle operation, where repeated acceleration, cornering loads, and general chassis flex create significant stresses on drivetrain components. The differential mechanism allows the inside wheel to rotate slower than the outside wheel during turns, preventing tyre slip and maintaining stability through corners. This replacement gear set restores full differential functionality when original components become worn through normal use, extending the overall lifespan of your Comet whilst maintaining the precise handling characteristics the vehicle was engineered to deliver. Installation is straightforward for users with basic RC maintenance experience and standard tools, making this an accessible upgrade for the RC hobby community.
