Durable red aluminium front gearbox for Hotshot, Super Hotshot and Bigwig

The JAZRIDER JR-THS12-RD red aluminium front gear box is a solid option for owners of Hotshot, Super Hotshot, Boomerang or Bigwig kits who want a sturdier front assembly. It swaps in to provide a more rigid housing and a neat finished look for your model.

Advantages of an aluminium casing in the front end

Aluminium resists impact better than many plastics and keeps internal components more stable under stress. Improved heat conduction helps components run cooler during longer sessions or in warm conditions.

Installation notes and checks after fitting

The gearbox matches Hotshot series dimensions so it is normally a direct replacement. After installation verify gear alignment, steering geometry and secure all mounting screws to avoid mid-run loosening.

Is special machining needed to fit this gearbox?

No special machining is required. The unit is made to the same mounting pattern as the stock Hotshot gearbox for straightforward replacement.

Will this help if I run on rough, abrasive surfaces?

Yes. The alloy housing gives better protection to gears and bearings when you run on rough tracks or hard-packed terrain.

Any corrosion concerns with aluminium?

Anodised aluminium resists corrosion well, but rinse and dry the assembly after salt or muddy conditions to keep fittings working smoothly.

Can I use the unit with tuning upgrades like stronger springs?

Yes. The stiffer mounting that the aluminium box provides can complement tuning upgrades, but recheck alignment and suspension geometry after any major changes.
