Fit a tougher aluminium rear gearbox to your MiniZilla

The MiniZilla Aluminum Rear Gearbox by 3Racing LA-12/PU is built to increase the resilience of Hot Bodies MiniZilla models. Constructed from durable aluminium, the unit stands up better to impacts and heat than standard plastic housings, giving you a more robust drivetrain for park runs and spirited weekend sessions.

Why aluminium improves performance

Aluminium offers reliable rigidity while remaining light enough to avoid upsetting chassis balance. The reduced flex helps keep gear alignment steady, which supports predictable acceleration and fewer drivetrain surprises under load.

Quick fit tips for club tuners

Installation is straightforward with basic tools. Make sure gear mesh is set correctly, torque screws evenly, and check for any play after initial runs. Periodic inspections will extend service life and prevent small issues from becoming failures.

Does the aluminium gearbox change car handling?

You may notice slightly firmer response due to reduced drivetrain flex, but handling changes are usually subtle. The main benefit is increased consistency under load.

Is any modification needed for fitment?

The LA-12/PU is designed for Hot Bodies MiniZilla chassis. Most users report bolt-on fitment, but verify clearance around mounting points and hardware lengths before final assembly.

What gear lubes and bearings do you recommend?

Use a medium consistency grease for the gears and quality sealed bearings. That combo reduces wear and helps the aluminium housing resist scoring over time.
