Replacement aluminium front gearbox matched to Tamiya Hotshot layouts

This aluminium front gear box fits Tamiya Hotshot, Super Hotshot, Boomerang and Bigwig chassis and is sold under model JR-THS12-LB. The blue anodised housing gives a stronger casing option compared with the original plastic while keeping the factory mounting arrangement.

Installation follows the original screw pattern and alignment points used on Hotshot-series vehicles. When fitting, ensure correct gear mesh and that bearings sit flush; reuse your current gears and bearings unless you are performing component upgrades. The aluminium housing reduces flex in the front drivetrain and supports consistent gear engagement during aggressive driving.

For modelers seeking a durable front housing for Hotshot-family cars, the JR-THS12-LB aluminium unit is a reliable upgrade that preserves stock geometry and improves front-end stiffness.

No chassis modification is normally required. The housing is engineered to match the original mounting points of the specified Tamiya models.
This is the housing only. Internal gears and bearings should be transferred from the original unit or purchased separately if you plan a full rebuild.
Check for smooth rotation, correct gear mesh and secure bearing placement. Also confirm screws are evenly torqued to avoid distorting the aluminium case.
No. The housing retains original geometry so alignment with the drivetrain should remain unchanged, though the reduced flex may alter feel under load.
