Fit a blue anodised gearbox bridge to the DT-03

The Tamiya 54566 Aluminum Gearbox Bridge is a tidy upgrade that reinforces the gearbox area on DT-03 chassis. Its aluminium construction adds local stiffness where the drivetrain loads the frame most.

Why aluminium makes sense for this part

Aluminium offers a solid strength to weight compromise for parts that must resist flex. For gearbox bridges this means a firmer mounting point without compromising suspension response or overall balance.

Installation notes for the DT-03

Bridges arrive anodised in blue and match the DT-03 mounting pattern. Installation uses the existing screw points and is suitable for anyone comfortable with basic strip and refit tasks. The coating helps guard against scuffs and corrosion over time.

Excellent service. Package arrived on time. All contents were there. Will buy again from seller in the future for Tamiya products/hop-ups.

Will this part fit other Tamiya chassis?

This bridge is made for the DT-03 spec. Other Tamiya frames may use different hole patterns so check measurements before assuming compatibility.

Do I need special tools to fit it?

Basic hand tools like hex drivers and a small torque feel are sufficient. Retain original screws and confirm thread engagement during refit.

Will it change how the car handles on loose surfaces?

You may notice a firmer feel under power and reduced flex-induced squat on rough sections, which can improve traction feel on loose or gravel surfaces.

How should I maintain the aluminium part?

Keep it clean and periodically check mounting screws for tightness. If scratches occur, the anodised layer still offers corrosion resistance.
