Blue anodized aluminum front gearbox for Tamiya Hotshot family

This aluminum front gear box is a direct-fit replacement designed for Tamiya Hotshot, Super Hotshot, Boomerang and Bigwig chassis, supplied as model JR-THS12-LB. It arrives in a blue anodized finish and provides a firmer alternative to the stock plastic case, helping to reduce flex while keeping the original mounting geometry.

Fitting is straightforward for technicians familiar with the Hotshot lineup; it uses the existing screw locations and alignment points. When installing, verify gear mesh and bearing seating, and normally reuse the original internal gears and bearings unless you plan further upgrades. The component helps maintain consistent front gear alignment under load and offers a stable platform for spur and pinion setups on the front drivetrain.

For those servicing or upgrading Tamiya Hotshot-series vehicles, this JR-THS12-LB aluminum front gear box is a practical way to increase front drivetrain stiffness without altering the stock layout.

Yes. The housing matches the original mounting points and layout for the listed Tamiya models, enabling replacement without chassis modification in most cases.
This listing is the aluminum gearbox housing only. Plan to reuse the internal gears and bearings from your existing assembly unless you intend to upgrade those parts separately.
After fitting, confirm correct gear mesh, check that shafts turn freely, and ensure bearings are seated properly. Tighten screws evenly to avoid distorting the housing.
An aluminum housing typically increases front-end rigidity and can produce a firmer steering response; the exact effect depends on the rest of your setup and driving conditions.
