Aftermarket aluminum front gearbox for Tamiya models

This aluminum front gear box is supplied as an RC-scale replacement for the TAMIYA Hotshot, Super Hotshot, Boomerang and Bigwig chassis. It replaces the original plastic housing with a stiffer metal shell to limit flex and help maintain correct gear alignment during regular use.

The unit is compatible only with the models named above and is presented in a gun metal finish. The text emphasises fitment, serviceability and compatibility details rather than performance claims; it is intended for hobbyist maintenance of model-grade transmissions.

Specifications

  • Item: Front Gear Box
  • Material: Aluminum
  • Model Number: JR-THS12-GU
  • Compatibility: Tamiya Hotshot / Super Hotshot / Boomerang / Bigwig

Use this aluminium front gear box when you require a firmer front housing for repair or incremental upgrades; always confirm chassis compatibility and screw patterns before final installation.

Will this fit earlier and later Hotshot versions without modification?

Fitment targets the listed TAMIYA models, but small year-to-year changes in chassis parts can occur. Inspect screw locations and mating surfaces to confirm compatibility before committing to the install.

Are there known chassis variants that require spacers or different fasteners?

Some chassis or aftermarket sub-assemblies may shift mounting points slightly. If your build uses non-standard brackets or skins, check clearances and add thin shims or different-length screws only when necessary.

Can I reuse my original screws and bearings when fitting this housing?

Often the original hardware will work, but confirm screw length and thread engagement. Bearings may transfer differently with a metal housing, so inspect them and replace if signs of wear are present.

Where should I verify fitment before purchase?

Measure your chassis mating faces and compare screw hole patterns to the product images or supplier notes. If uncertain, contact the seller with chassis year and any aftermarket changes for confirmation.
