This aftermarket centre gearbox is a scale RC accessory intended for the Tamiya CC02 MERCEDES-BENZ G500 platform. CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminium, it is designed to steady the transmission gears inside the CC02 centre assembly and to support consistent steering feel and drivetrain stability under crawling loads. This is an RC component and not suitable for real vehicle use.
The aluminium replacement swaps the stock plastic centre gearbox to provide a firmer mounting surface for internal gears and to improve dimensional accuracy at the junctions with driveshafts and bearings. Aluminium's thermal conductivity can help move heat away from gear contact zones during lengthy sessions, which may improve run consistency.
Fitting guidance: access to the CC02 centre transmission area and basic disassembly are required. Check gear mesh and bearing alignment on reassembly to preserve smooth rotation and accurate steering response. After initial running, re-inspect screw torque and gear engagement to ensure reliable operation.
A precision CNC centre gearbox for enthusiasts refining CC02 drivetrains who want a more rigid housing and improved thermal handling versus the factory plastic part.
