This aluminium front gear box is intended to replace the stock plastic housing used on several classic TAMIYA 1/10 off-road kits. It is provided as a direct-fit option for the Hotshot, Super Hotshot, Boomerang and Bigwig chassis where the factory front gearbox is specified.
The housing is machined to act as a rigid mounting platform while accommodating the same internal gears and bearings from the original drivetrain. The objective is to secure correct alignment of pinion and spur interfaces and improve the structural integrity of the front end.
Fitting advice: the unit is produced for bolt-on replacement using the vehicle's original fasteners and layout. Confirm gear mesh, driveshaft alignment and bearing condition when installing. Internal gears and bearings are typically reused unless the vendor states otherwise.
Fit this aluminium front gearbox when you want a metal replacement housing for front drivetrain servicing or modest tuning on the specified TAMIYA chassis; always check supplied items and perform a test fit.
