This aluminium gear box cover is a drop-in aftermarket option for Tamiya DT02, DT03, DT04 and Hornet EVO chassis. It provides increased protection around the gearbox, simplifies routine maintenance, and supports modest tuning activities without changing the drivetrain layout.
Compatibility: the component mirrors the outer mounting footprint for the listed Tamiya chassis and seats against the standard gearbox openings those models use. Check screw alignment and thread engagement during fitting and do not force fasteners; use the factory mounting holes and sensible torque to avoid stripping plastic bosses.
Fitting checklist: take off the stock cover, inspect gearbox seals and gear mesh, locate the aluminium cover and fasten it with the original screws. As this is a metal cover, avoid over-tightening near plastic supports and re-verify gear mesh after assembly. Aluminium also endures repeated removal cycles better than many thin plastic covers.
Usage note: this item is aimed at improving serviceability and case longevity rather than changing handling characteristics. The red anodised finish is a common choice for owners wanting a robust, neat-looking upgrade.
