DT-Series Center Gearbox Housing for Tamiya DT02/DT03/DT04/Hornet EVO - JR-THNE06-GU by Jazrider  [JR-THNE06-GU]

Aftermarket aluminum center gearbox for Tamiya DT

This aluminum gear box is offered as a direct-fit aftermarket replacement for the specified Tamiya DT chassis. Supplied in a gun metal anodized finish, the machined housing is aimed at hobbyists who want to replace the OEM plastic pod with a more rigid enclosure for enhanced durability and stable gear alignment.

Installation centers on removing the stock gearbox and refitting the existing spur and pinion gears, bearings, and internal shafts into the new aluminum housing. Basic disassembly of the DT-series center pod is required, and using standard hex drivers on a clean bench is advised. This is a purpose-built RC accessory for model vehicles only.

In terms of tuning, a firmer gearbox housing reduces flex when loaded, which helps maintain a consistent mesh between spur and pinion and can improve traction and extend gear life when paired with suitable bearings and motor/ESC setups. Always verify gear mesh and bearing preload during assembly to prevent premature wear.

Choose this gearbox when a tougher machined housing is needed to support heavier loads or to refine drivetrain consistency on DT models, confirming fit and gear alignment during the install.
