Key Features

- Perfect Compatibility — Specifically designed for the FTX Buzzsaw Xtreme 1/12 ATV (model FTX0602BL), ensuring exact fitment without modification, alignment issues or compatibility problems that can occur with universal or aftermarket alternatives.
- Genuine FTX Factory Part — This is an authentic, factory-authorised FTX spare part, guaranteeing you receive a component engineered and tested to the same exacting standards as the original vehicle assembly.
- Enhanced Longevity — Metal gears provide extended service life compared to standard plastic alternatives, reducing the frequency of replacements and offering better value for dedicated RC enthusiasts who put their vehicles through regular use.
- Smooth Power Transmission — Precision-manufactured transition gears ensure smooth, efficient power delivery from the motor assembly to the drive system, maintaining responsive handling characteristics and minimising drivetrain slop.
- Easy Installation — Designed as a complete set for straightforward replacement, allowing you to quickly restore your Buzzsaw's performance without requiring specialist tools or complex modifications.
Technical Performance
The FTX Buzzsaw Metal Transition Gear Set represents the engineering quality you would expect from a manufacturer with extensive experience in the UK RC car market. Metal gears deliver measurably superior performance compared to plastic alternatives, with improved surface hardness, better load distribution and greater resistance to the kinds of stresses generated during rock crawling and rough terrain use. The transition gears are the critical interface between the main drive motor assembly and the output shafts, making this component absolutely essential for maintaining smooth, responsive drivetrain performance. The metal construction means these gears will maintain their dimensional accuracy and meshing characteristics far longer than plastic equivalents, which can become worn, stripped and loose after extended use. For owners of the FTX Buzzsaw Xtreme 1/12 ATV, upgrading to or replacing worn transition gears with this factory metal set ensures the vehicle maintains its factory performance specification and responsive handling characteristics. Whether you are running your Buzzsaw on challenging rock gardens, technical backyard courses or technical crawling courses throughout the UK, this component upgrade provides the reliability you need to keep your RC car performing consistently session after session.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What vehicle is this FTX Buzzsaw Metal Transition Gear Set compatible with? — This gear set is specifically designed for the FTX Buzzsaw Xtreme 1/12 ATV Vehicle with Exhaust (model FTX0602BL). It will not fit other FTX Buzzsaw variants without confirmation of compatibility, so verify your model number before ordering.
- Why would I need to replace the transition gears on my FTX Buzzsaw? — Transition gears experience wear during normal operation as they transmit power from the motor to the drivetrain. Replacing them restores smooth power delivery, reduces drivetrain noise and slop, and maintains responsive handling characteristics. Upgrading to metal gears from plastic alternatives also improves durability for vehicles that receive regular use.
- Is this a genuine FTX spare part? — Yes, this is an authentic, factory-authorised FTX component. Purchasing genuine spare parts ensures perfect compatibility, consistent quality and the performance standards you would expect from the original vehicle manufacturer, rather than risking fitment issues with third-party alternatives.
- How difficult is it to install this metal transition gear set? — This is an intermediate-level repair that requires removing components from your FTX Buzzsaw's drivetrain assembly. If you are experienced with RC car maintenance and have basic tools, installation should be straightforward. If you are new to RC car maintenance, you may wish to consult detailed guides or seek assistance from experienced RC enthusiasts before attempting installation.
- Will upgrading to metal gears improve my Buzzsaw's performance? — Metal gears provide better durability and longevity, reducing wear and maintaining precise meshing tolerances longer than plastic alternatives. This results in smoother power delivery, reduced drivetrain noise and more consistent handling during crawling sessions. Performance gains are most noticeable on vehicles that receive regular, demanding use.
- What is the difference between the FTX0626-8 Metal Transition Gear Set and other FTX Buzzsaw gear components? — The FTX Buzzsaw has multiple gear-related components throughout its drivetrain, including main gear drives (FTX0626-1), small steering gears (FTX0626-2), individual gears (FTX0626-6 and FTX0626-7), and complete gear assemblies (FTX0626). The FTX0626-8 specifically refers to the transition gears that connect the motor output to the main drive system. This is a targeted replacement part for this specific component rather than a complete drivetrain assembly.
