Durable aluminium gearbox plate for DT platforms

This JR-THNE05-GU aluminium gear box cover is an aftermarket, RC-scale replacement crafted to suit the Tamiya DT02, DT03, DT04 and Hornet EVO chassis listed in the title. The gun metal finish offers a tougher external surface intended to interface with the original gearbox mounting locations on the specified Tamiya models.

As a material upgrade, aluminium provides a firmer mounting area and better abrasion resistance compared with many stock plastic covers, helping the chassis maintain shape under load and reducing wear from debris. It is intended as a protective and structural improvement while leaving internal gearbox components accessible.

Fitting is simple for those experienced with model maintenance: remove the factory cover, inspect gear alignment, position the JR-THNE05-GU and secure using the existing holes. After installation, recheck gear operation and clearances to ensure smooth rotation.

How should I care for the gun metal finish?

Wipe the surface clean after runs to remove grit and moisture. If the finish shows light scratches, gentle polishing with a mild metal polish can restore appearance without affecting fit.

Will this cover rust or corrode in wet conditions?

Aluminium resists rust but can oxidise; rinse and dry after exposure to water and apply a light protective coating if you regularly run in damp or salty environments.

Does the aluminium face hold up in crashes?

The metal cover is generally tougher than plastic and will better resist gouges and abrasion, but heavy impacts can still bend or transfer force to adjoining parts, so inspect mounting points after any hard hit.
