Tamiya DT Series Red Aluminum Gear Box Cover JR-THNE05-RD (compatible with DT02/DT03/DT04/Hornet EVO) by Jazrider  [JR-THNE05-RD]

Aftermarket aluminium cover for Tamiya DT chassis

This aluminium gear box cover is a direct-fit aftermarket component designed for Tamiya DT02, DT03, DT04 and Hornet EVO chassis. It is meant to protect the gearbox area, speed up routine maintenance, and support small setup changes while leaving drivetrain geometry unchanged.

Fitment is simple: the part matches the external mounting profile of the listed Tamiya models and aligns with the standard gearbox openings used on those kits. Confirm screw thread engagement and do not force fasteners; use the factory screw positions and moderate torque to protect plastic mounting points.

Installation guidelines: remove the standard cover, inspect seals and gear mesh, fit the aluminium cover, and secure it with the original screws. As the cover is metal, take care with torque around plastic bosses and recheck gear mesh after assembly. The aluminium construction endures repeated removal cycles better than thin plastic stock covers.

Role in tuning: this component supports chassis upkeep and longevity rather than altering handling or gear ratios. Many modelers pick the red anodised variant for a robust look and for easier access during frequent maintenance.
