The BJ012 is an alloy aftermarket rear gear box developed for HPI Baja scale vehicles. It secures the spur gear and axle layup and provides a stable mount for the rear differential and associated drive parts.
Use cases include replacing worn housings, restoring proper gear mesh, and upgrading from stock plastic to a corrosion-resistant alloy option. The alloy construction raises stiffness under common off-road loads while keeping the geometry appropriate for scale RC applications.
Installation notes: this unit installs in place of the stock rear gear box and uses the same fastener points and internal gear arrangement found on HPI Baja assemblies. Standard workshop checks apply: clean mating surfaces, inspect bearings and gears before refit, and use threadlocker where advised.
Tuning and maintenance role: swapping to this alloy housing helps preserve consistent gear mesh when addressing drivetrain wear or post-crash repair. It will not change gear ratios or electronics behavior, but it can cut flex-induced backlash when combined with correct gear alignment.
BJ012 is a straightforward aftermarket replacement aimed at better structural durability and consistent rear drivetrain alignment for HPI Baja models, useful during regular maintenance and setup work.
