Practical Aluminum Portal Cover for Redcat Gen8

The JAZRIDER JR-RG802-BK Aluminum Portal Drive Housing Cover provides a straightforward durability upgrade for the Redcat Gen8 portal housing. Machined from aluminum to resist impacts, it protects bearings and gears while remaining easy to service.

Material and service considerations

Aluminum offers predictable deformation characteristics and is simpler to inspect and maintain than some composite options. The cover allows quick access for routine bearing checks and gear inspections without complex disassembly.

Fitting guidance for hobbyists

Fit the JAZRIDER unit using standard hand tools, ensuring fasteners are secure but not overtorqued. Check mating surfaces for flatness and re-torque after initial use to prevent loosening from vibration.

What basic tools are recommended for installation?

A set of hex drivers, a torque driver for consistent screw tightening, and a soft-face mallet for gentle seating are useful. Avoid over-tightening to protect threads.

How do I inspect the cover after off-road use?

Remove the cover and check bearings and gears for grit and wear. Clean the interior, apply light lubrication to bearings, and replace any damaged seals or hardware.

Is this a direct replacement for the stock housing cover?

Yes, it is designed to replace the stock cover on the Redcat Gen8. Confirm the factory mounting points match and follow the supplied installation advice.
