Hotshot Series Front Gearbox - Red Aluminium Upgrade by JAZRIDER JR-THS12-RD  [JR-THS12-RD]

Robust red aluminium front gearbox for Tamiya Hotshot family

Upgrade your Hotshot, Super Hotshot, Boomerang or Bigwig with the JAZRIDER JR-THS12-RD red aluminium front gear box to get a tougher, more heat tolerant front end. The unit combines a bold look with the practical benefit of a stiffer mounting point for front-end components.

Why aluminium improves front-end durability

Aluminium reduces flex where plastic housings can sag and provides stronger support for shafts and bearings. The metal case also sheds heat faster, helping keep gears and lubricants in better condition during longer runs.

Fitting advice and alignment checks

The part is designed around the original Hotshot layout so fitting is usually a direct swap. After installing, confirm gear mesh and steering throws, and recheck fastener torque after the first session to prevent loosening.
