Tamiya CC02 MERCEDES-BENZ G500 Aluminum Center Gearbox by GPM CC2038  [CC2038]

Aluminum center gearbox for CC02

This aftermarket center gearbox is a scale RC accessory designed for the Tamiya CC02 MERCEDES-BENZ G500 platform. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, it is intended to stabilize the transmission gears inside the CC02 center assembly and to contribute to consistent steering feel and drivetrain stability under crawling loads. The component is an RC-scale part and is not for real vehicle use.

The part replaces the stock plastic center gearbox to give a firmer mounting surface for internal gears and to improve dimensional accuracy where the gearbox interfaces with driveshafts and bearings. Because aluminum conducts heat differently than plastic, the material can assist in dissipating heat away from gear interfaces during extended trail sessions, which can influence long-run consistency.

Installation notes: this upgrade requires access to the CC02 center transmission area and basic disassembly of the center assembly. Check gear mesh and bearing alignment during reassembly to retain smooth rotation and correct steering response. Periodic inspection of screw torque and gear engagement is recommended after initial runs.

This CNC-machined center gearbox is intended for hobbyists tuning CC02 drivetrains who want a more rigid gearbox mounting and improved thermal behavior compared with the stock plastic component.
