Upgrade the rear end with a robust aluminium housing

The JAZRIDER Aluminium Rear Gear Box replaces the weaker plastic housing on Tamiya Hotshot, Super Hotshot, Boomerang and Bigwig models. The vivid red finish is durable and the metal construction reduces the chance of damage during off road runs.

Quick swap for common Hotshot chassis

Engineered to match factory attachment points, this gearbox installs without major chassis work. It is a practical upgrade for drivers who want a tougher rear assembly with minimal downtime.

Why aluminium helps on rough terrain

Metal housings handle repeated impacts and stress better than stock plastic, which helps keep gear alignment stable under load. That stability delivers more predictable handling when you push the car over rough surfaces.

Does this require gearbox modification?

No major modification is required. It is designed to fit like for like with factory mounting points, though you should confirm gear mesh during installation.

Is the red finish durable enough for bashing?

The finish is applied to withstand normal use. Occasional scuffs are expected in heavy use, but the aluminium underneath continues to protect the internals.

Should I change grease or oil when fitting it?

Inspect and refresh lubricant when you fit the new housing. Fresh grease helps reduce wear and keeps gears running quietly inside the metal case.

Will this affect diff or drivetrain tuning?

The housing itself does not change internal gear ratios. However, the stiffer case can make diffs and gear mesh feel more consistent, so you may fine tune settings after fitting.
