Compatibility and fit notes for Tamiya chassis

This JR-THNE05-GU aluminium gear box cover is an aftermarket, scale replacement intended for the Tamiya DT02, DT03, DT04 and Hornet EVO chassis referenced in the title. The gun metal plate is made to locate on the original gearbox mounting points and use the existing screw holes on those Tamiya platforms.

The aluminium cover provides a stronger mounting surface than many stock plastic covers, helping the chassis resist deformation and offering improved protection against abrasion. It is designed to retain access to gearbox internals so service and adjustments remain possible.

Installation follows standard procedures: remove the factory cover, inspect gear mesh and seals, position the JR-THNE05-GU and secure with the original fasteners. Once fitted, rotate the drivetrain by hand to confirm there is no binding or misalignment.

Compatibility

  • Tamiya DT02
  • Tamiya DT03
  • Tamiya DT04
  • Tamiya Hornet EVO

Are there differences between DT02, DT03 and DT04 fitment?

The cover is intended to match the gearbox mounting layout shared across the listed DT-series variants, but minor variations in surrounding chassis parts may require a trial fit to confirm clearance on your specific model.

Does Hornet EVO require any special modification?

Hornet EVO generally accepts the cover without modification; however check nearby brackets and wiring routes during installation to ensure nothing is pinched or misrouted by the new plate.

What screw types or washers should I have on hand?

Keep the original mounting screws and small flat washers available. If the original screws show wear, replace with equivalent thread-size machine screws and avoid oversize washers that could affect seating.
