Solid aluminum gearbox option for Tamiya DT chassis

This aluminum gear box is an aftermarket direct-fit housing created for the named Tamiya DT platforms. With a gun metal anodized surface, the machined enclosure replaces the original plastic pod to deliver greater structural rigidity and more predictable gear alignment for scale RC applications.

Fitting the part involves removing the factory gearbox and transplanting the existing spur, pinion, bearings, and internal shafts into the new housing where compatible. Basic disassembly of the DT-series centre pod is required; work on a clean bench with standard hex drivers and keep components sorted. This item is intended as an RC accessory only.

From a setup perspective, the firmer housing cuts down on flex under load, helping to keep a steady mesh between spur and pinion which benefits traction and extends gear life when used alongside appropriate bearings and motor/ESC setups. Always double-check gear mesh and bearing preload after installation to avoid early wear.

Specifications

  • Item Tamiya DT02/ DT03/ DT04/ Hornet EVO Aluminum Gear Box (Gun Metal)
  • Material Aluminum
  • Model Number JR-THNE06-GU
  • Compatibility Tamiya DT02, DT03, DT04, Hornet EVO

Select this gearbox when you want a tougher machined center housing to support heavier loads or improve drivetrain predictability on DT-series models, ensuring proper fit and mesh during assembly.

It is intended as a direct replacement for the listed DT variants, but you must transfer internal components and confirm fitment and mesh during reassembly to ensure proper operation.
Routine inspection for burrs, secure fasteners, and bearing condition is recommended; anodize is durable but check edges and mounting points periodically.
Yes, the design expects reuse of spur and pinion gears, shafts, and bearings where they are in good condition; replace worn items and set bearing preload correctly when refitting.
The gun metal anodized finish is cosmetic only and does not impact compatibility; still verify clearances and mesh during build to avoid issues.
