Metal rear gearbox shell tailored for Hotshot-compatible models

This JR-THS13-GU aluminium rear gearbox is produced as an aftermarket replacement for the plastic rear case used on TAMIYA Hotshot, Super Hotshot, Boomerang and Bigwig vehicles. The machined aluminium shell in gun metal aims to offer a longer-lasting, more rigid enclosure while matching the original mounting layout.

The housing's role is to replace the rear shell and improve the stability of gear alignment and rear-end structure. That stability can reduce the frequency of mesh-related wear and help the vehicle withstand rough use or more powerful drivetrains.

Assembly notes: the design keeps the original mounting points and typically reuses the car's internal gears, shafts and bearings. After installation, verify free rotation and precise gear mesh before final tightening to ensure long-term reliability.

Specifications

  • Item: Rear Gear Box
  • Material: Aluminum
  • Model Number: JR-THS13-GU
  • Compatibility: Tamiya Hotshot / Super Hotshot / Boomerang / Bigwig

This aluminium rear gearbox is suitable when you require a direct-fit metal housing to better protect the rear drivetrain and keep gear alignment on Hotshot-series Tamiya models.

The shell is made to the Hotshot family mounting pattern and fits the listed models, but confirm your vehicle layout and the position of any aftermarket modifications before installation.
In most cases no; internal differentials, shafts and bearings are transferred across. If you run non-standard internal parts, check clearances before tightening the case.
Assemble the internals, fit the shell loosely, then rotate and observe the gear contact pattern. Adjust spacing until teeth show an even contact line, then secure the case evenly.
This is an aftermarket part; fitting it may affect manufacturer warranty on original components. Retain original parts if you need to return the model to factory configuration.
