The JAZRIDER JR-THNE06-LB aluminum gear box is an aftermarket replacement part designed for RC-scale Tamiya DT02, DT03, DT04 and Hornet EVO chassis. Manufactured from machined aluminum and finished in blue anodize, this gearbox replaces the stock plastic housing to provide a stiffer mounting point for spur and pinion gear meshes, and to better resist wear under tuning and heavier-duty setups.
Installation notes: the unit is a direct-fit replacement for the listed Tamiya models, matching existing mounting points and bearing positions so pulley, spur gear and motor alignment remain unchanged. When servicing the gearbox, inspect spur gear and pinion for wear and confirm bearings seat properly before final assembly. Light thread-lock on metal-to-metal fasteners can be used where threads are shared with chassis components, but confirm compatibility with your hardware.
Tuning role: swapping to an aluminum gear box helps reduce flex around the spur gear area, which can stabilise gear mesh under higher torque from upgraded motors or modified pinion sizes. The metal housing also aids heat dispersion compared with standard plastic housings, which can be beneficial in sustained runs or competition practice sessions.
This aluminum gear box is suited for hobbyists who want a durable, direct-fit replacement to improve chassis stiffness and gear reliability on Tamiya DT-series platforms.
