Machined aluminum rear gearbox for classic TAMIYA Hotshot models

The JR-THS13-LB aluminum rear gear box replaces the factory stamped plastic housing with a machined blue-anodized aluminum assembly, giving a firmer mounting surface for internal gears and bearings versus the original plastic part.

Role and fit: this rear gearbox housing positions the existing spur gear and pinion alignment inside the chassis rear section. Install it when you want reduced drivetrain flex under load or when testing alternate gear mesh and bearing setups.

Service and installation: the unit keeps the stock mounting footprint for the listed TAMIYA models so it mates to the original bolt pattern and internal layout. Internal access uses the same removable cover points as the factory housing, allowing routine inspection and bearing service without modifying primary chassis parts.

Specifications

For builders chasing a tighter drivetrain feel and a more rigid gearbox mounting on classic TAMIYA Hotshot-series rigs, this aluminum rear housing offers a direct metal alternative that keeps the original layout intact.

The housing uses the stock bolt pattern and mounts in the same location as the original part, so replacement follows the factory removal and reassembly steps for the rear gearbox cover.
No special seals are required; the internal alignment is preserved. Inspect bearing endplay and gear mesh after installation and adjust shims only if you detect tightness or binding.
The blue anodizing is a thin surface finish and does not alter critical mating dimensions. Fitment checks for gear mesh are recommended during first assembly.
The housing is machined to accept the same bearing sizes as the stock unit; no additional machining should be necessary for standard setups.
