Red anodized aluminum gearbox for Tamiya DT-series and Hornet EVO

This aluminum gear box is a direct aftermarket replacement designed for RC-scale use on Tamiya DT02, DT03, DT04 and Hornet EVO platforms. The JR-THNE06-RD housing replaces the stock plastic case to provide a stiffer mounting point for spur and pinion alignment while maintaining original gear locations and service access.

The part is constructed from red anodized aluminum and serves as a structural hop-up that helps stabilise gear mesh under higher loads and during extended runs. Installation follows the vehicle's standard gearbox disassembly, allowing reuse of existing spur gear, pinion gear and internal bearings where compatible.

Practical notes: verify compatibility with your chassis by confirming model designation before purchase, keep original bearings and fasteners checked for wear, and use a thin layer of light gear grease on gear teeth to reduce wear after installation.

Specifications

  • Item: Aluminum Gear Box (Red)
  • Material: Aluminum, red anodized finish
  • Model Number: JR-THNE06-RD
  • Compatibility: Tamiya DT02, DT03, DT04, Hornet EVO

The JR-THNE06-RD is intended as a direct-scale upgrade to improve rigidity and serviceability on compatible Tamiya DT-series and Hornet EVO drivetrains, supporting routine tuning and maintenance without altering gear ratios.

What is the first step to fit this aluminium gearbox?

Begin by removing the original plastic gearbox following your chassis manual, keep track of spacer positions and reuse the original spur and pinion if they are compatible, then test fit the JR-THNE06-RD before final torqueing.

Do I need new bearings to install this housing?

Inspect the existing bearings for play or corrosion; many installations reuse stock bearings but replace any unit that shows wear to ensure proper alignment and longevity.

How should I set gear mesh with the metal case?

Assemble spur and pinion with a light smear of gear grease, then adjust mesh to a small amount of backlash and verify with slow rotation under load to ensure no binding occurs.

Any torque or screw tips to avoid damage?

Use the vehicle manufacturer's recommended screw sizes and torque settings where possible, and avoid overtightening to prevent distorting the aluminum housing or stripping threads.
