This aluminium main gear cover is supplied as a three-piece upgrade for AXIAL SCX24 Deadbolt platforms, catalogued as SCX24038GC. It replaces the OEM plastic cover to provide firmer impact protection and to help conduct heat away from the motor and spur area during extended sessions.
Construction and fit: formed from 6061-T6 aluminium for a balance of lightness and strength, the cover is secured with stainless steel cap head screws and matches the factory mounting locations. The original listing details one gear cover and two stainless steel cap head screws 1.4x5 for the indicated gearbox points.
Installation notes: take off the original cover, inspect gear mesh and bearings for wear, then fit the aluminium unit with the supplied screws using an appropriate hex driver. Avoid over-tightening fasteners and ensure adequate clearance around the spur and pinion before operating the vehicle.
Use and benefit: this aftermarket cover increases local rigidity around the main gear area and can aid passive heat transfer from the spur and motor region, supporting steady performance in trail and indoor crawling without changing gear alignment.
