Blue anodized aluminum rear gear housing for TAMIYA Hotshot

The JR-THS13-LB aluminum rear gear box is a direct-fit upgrade that swaps the original stamped plastic housing for a precision-machined aluminum unit finished in blue anodize. The metal housing gives a more rigid mount for internal gears and bearings compared with the stock piece.

Use case and installation: positioned as the rear gearbox housing, this component maintains the spur and pinion alignment inside the rear chassis section. It is suitable for builders seeking a tougher housing to limit drivetrain flex during heavier loads or tuning trials.

Fitment notes: the housing follows the original mounting layout and bolt pattern used by the listed TAMIYA models for straightforward installation. The removable cover points remain the same so routine access to gears and bearings is preserved.

For RC enthusiasts wanting a firmer rear gearbox mounting on vintage TAMIYA Hotshot designs, this aluminum housing offers a simple metal replacement while retaining original geometry.

Because the housing preserves the stock mounting positions, initial gear mesh remains the same; however the reduced flex can result in more consistent mesh under load, which may change perceived engagement during tuning.
The aluminum housing is heavier than the plastic original and will add mass at the rear; this can slightly alter balance but often improves traction and drivetrain stability.
Verify bearing fit and endplay after installation and recheck gear mesh with the wheels on to ensure smooth rotation under load.
Yes. The housing keeps the internal layout, so you can experiment with alternate pinion and spur combinations while benefiting from the stiffer mounting surface.
