Sturdy red aluminum front gearbox for Tamiya Hotshot series

For hobbyists wanting a tougher front end for Hotshot, Super Hotshot, Boomerang or Bigwig kits, the JAZRIDER JR-THS12-RD red aluminum front gear box is a practical upgrade. It replaces the standard plastic housing with a more robust assembly while adding a clean, show-ready finish to your RC rig.

Why pick an aluminum gear box for RC use?

Aluminum offers a strong but light balance that helps protect internal gears from impact and reduces flex under load. Users will notice better heat transfer compared with plastic parts and a firmer mounting point for front suspension and steering components.

Fitment and simple fitting notes

This gearbox is made to match mounting points on the Hotshot family of models, so installation is usually a matter of swapping the stock unit for the JAZRIDER part. Basic hand tools and a careful parts check during reassembly will keep the job quick and reliable.

Yes. The unit is designed to match the Hotshot series mounting layout so most builds swap in the aluminum gearbox with no cutting or drilling required.
The housing maintains original gear positions, so gear mesh should stay the same. Check pinion and spur alignment during installation to avoid premature wear.
Regularly inspect fasteners and seals, reapply light grease to gears as needed, and confirm bearings run smoothly after the first few sessions.
