Upgraded aluminium cover for DT chassis

This aluminium gear box cover is an aftermarket, direct-fit solution created for Tamiya DT02, DT03, DT04 and Hornet EVO models. It is intended to protect the gearbox area, make routine servicing easier, and support modest tuning efforts while preserving the original drivetrain geometry.

Compatibility and fitment are simple: the component shares the external mounting profile of the listed Tamiya frames and aligns with the standard gearbox openings those kits use. Confirm screw thread engagement and avoid forcing hardware; reuse factory screw points and sensible torque to protect plastic bosses.

Fitting guidance: remove the original cover, inspect seals and gear mesh, fit the aluminium cover in place, and fasten with the supplied or original screws. Metal covers can require slightly more care on torque settings; always recheck gear mesh after closing the box. The sturdier aluminium stands up to repeated removal better than thin plastic stock pieces.

Tuning note: this part supports chassis upkeep and longevity rather than changing handling or drive ratios. Modelers often pick the red anodised finish for durability and appearance when frequent access is part of the maintenance routine.

The anodised surface gives good scratch and corrosion resistance for normal hobby use, but avoid abrasive contact with hard tools during installation.
Yes, aluminium endures repeated removal cycles without the fatigue issues that thin plastic covers can show, provided screws are handled carefully.
Under normal hobby conditions galvanic concerns are minimal; keep components clean and dry, and consider compatible fastener materials for long-term exposure to moisture.
