This rear gear box is an aluminium hop-up made for TAMIYA Hotshot series vehicles. Machined from red anodized aluminum, it takes the place of the factory plastic housing to lower flex and give a firmer mounting platform for rear drivetrain parts. It is aimed at modellers seeking a more durable, dimensionally stable rear assembly without changing internal gearing.
The component aligns with the stock fastener layout and locating features so the original spur and pinion setup can remain unchanged. Check clearances if you employ low-profile suspension parts or aftermarket motor mounts, and make sure the output shafts are aligned before final torqueing. Under normal conditions no cutting or trimming is expected when used on the listed chassis.
In practical tuning terms the firmer housing helps preserve rear geometry under load, cutting down on drivetrain lash and improving predictability on heavy acceleration or landing impacts. This item is intended for model use only.
Opt for this aluminum rear gear box when you want a tougher rear end that keeps original fitment while reducing flex and maintenance over time.
