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.

Specifications

  • Item Tamiya DT02/ DT03/ DT04/ Hornet EVO Aluminum Gear Box (Gun Metal)
  • Material Aluminum
  • Model Number JR-THNE06-GU
  • Compatibility Tamiya DT02, DT03, DT04, Hornet EVO

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.

The housing is made for the listed DT platforms, but slight layout differences between specific model years can exist; verify the donor chassis layout before committing to the swap.
Gear ratio changes are not required due to the housing swap, but if you alter motor or ESC specifications, reassess pinion/spur choices and check mesh accordingly.
Standard bearings from the donor chassis usually fit; inspect bearing seats and replace bearings if they show wear or if fitment is loose to ensure correct preload.
Anodize is robust for normal hobby use, but check exposed edges after installation for any signs of wear; the coating does not affect mechanical clearances.
