This aftermarket centre gearbox is an RC scale accessory built for the Tamiya CC02 MERCEDES-BENZ G500 platform. CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminium, it aims to reduce flex in the centre transmission and to deliver steadier steering feel and drivetrain behaviour when crawling. This is an RC part only, not intended for real vehicle use.
The aluminium housing replaces the stock plastic gearbox, offering a firmer seating for internal gears and tighter dimensional control where the case meets driveshafts and bearings. Aluminium's thermal conductivity can help pull heat away from gear contact points during long trails, aiding consistent performance over extended sessions.
Installation tips: access to the CC02 centre transmission is required and basic disassembly will be needed. Confirm correct gear mesh and bearing alignment during reassembly to retain smooth movement and accurate steering response. Periodic checks of fastener tightness and gear engagement are advised after the first outings.
A CNC-machined centre gearbox for modders tuning CC02 drivetrains who want a more rigid mounting and improved heat handling relative to the stock plastic piece.
