Rear case upgrade for TAMIYA Hotshot lineup

This black anodized aluminum rear gear box is offered as an aftermarket upgrade for the Tamiya Hotshot family models named above, replacing the stock plastic rear housing with a metal alternative. It is supplied as a finished housing intended for maintenance and setup tasks.

Beyond simple replacement, the aluminum shell adds stiffness to the rear driveline area which can limit deformation under torque and help keep gear backlash stable during tuning. Installing the unit requires the removal of the factory rear housing and careful relocation of the internal gears and bearings into the new casing, ensuring alignment and clearance are retained for proper operation.

Use this aluminum rear gear box when you want a rugged metal housing to stabilise gear mesh and support drivetrain consistency during repairs or tuning sessions on the listed Tamiya vehicles.

Yes. The product is designed for the original gears and bearings to be transferred into the aluminium housing without changing the internal components.
Because the housing is stiffer, you may find gear mesh remains more consistent under load; set mesh as you normally would and verify clearances after installation.
Standard hobby tools are sufficient for removal and refit of the housing; ensure you have the correct screwdrivers and a clean workspace for transferring bearings and gears.
There will be a small increase in mass at the rear compared with the plastic part; in most setups this has minimal impact, but it is worth noting for precise balance tuning.
The housing is supplied in a black finish as stated in the item description and model listing.
