Blue Anodized Gearbox for DT02/03/04 and Hornet EVO

The JR-THNE06-LB aluminum gear box is an aftermarket housing intended for Tamiya DT02, DT03, DT04 and Hornet EVO chassis. Built from machined aluminum with a blue anodized finish, it replaces the OEM plastic casing to create a more rigid mounting platform for gear components and to better withstand heavier tuning and use.

Fitment advice: packaged as a direct replacement for the listed Tamiya models, the housing aligns with the factory bearing seats and screw locations so motor and pulley geometry remain unchanged. Inspect gears and bearings during installation and ensure bearings are properly seated before final tightening. Use thread-lock selectively on metal-to-metal connections if necessary.

Tuning impact: an aluminum gearbox reduces flex at the spur gear region, helping to stabilise mesh when using higher power setups or non-stock pinion sizes. The metal case also helps move heat away from gear interfaces more efficiently than a plastic alternative.

A solid option for drivers seeking improved chassis stiffness and more reliable gear engagement on Tamiya DT platform models.

Standard hobby tools are sufficient; nothing special is required beyond typical screwdrivers and bearing press techniques.
The anodized surface adds corrosion resistance and wear protection, though salt exposure or abrasive environments will still necessitate cleaning and inspection.
Yes. The metal housing conducts heat away from gear areas more effectively than plastic, which can help under sustained high-load running.
The gearbox is dimensionally compatible with stock components, but if you change pinion size or motor output, check and adjust gear mesh and final drive settings for optimal performance.
