Tamiya 15438 JR Reinforced Gears with Easy Locking Gear Cover - Product Brief

The Tamiya 15438 JR Reinforced Gears with Easy Locking Gear Cover is aimed at Mini 4WD hobbyists who want a tougher geartrain assembly. Components are made from carbon reinforced nylon resin to deliver improved toughness and longer service intervals.

What is included and which chassis are supported

Inside the set you will find 8T pinion and crown gears manufactured from reinforced material for better load tolerance. The kit also features an updated rear gear cover for the Super-II chassis with a lever mechanism for fast removal and refit.

  • 18T Pinion Gear: Compatible with both Mini 4WD and Mini 4WD PRO cars.
  • Crown Gear: Suitable for use with Super-II, VS, Super TZ-X, Super TZ, Super 1, and Zero chassis cars.
  • Gear Cover: Designed for Super-II chassis cars.

Practical race use and service tips

Using reinforced gears reduces the frequency of replacements under sustained racing, and the easy locking cover makes routine inspection and cleaning simpler, helping keep lap times consistent.

The supplied rear gear cover is shaped for Super-II chassis mounting. Other chassis types use different cover designs and may not accept this part without modification.
Clean gears with a soft brush and light solvent if needed, check for burrs or chips after heavy runs, and lubricate sparingly with a compatible gear oil to preserve life.
Yes, the reinforced construction helps handle higher loads from tuned motors, but always verify mesh and alignment to avoid premature wear.
Individual gears and the cover may be available as spare parts through authorised dealers, check parts lists or contact suppliers for availability.
