Aftermarket aluminium gearbox stay with stabiliser mount

This aluminium gear box stay features an integrated stabiliser mount designed for the Tamiya Hotshot range. It offers a more rigid mounting point for gearbox and stabiliser hardware on compatible chassis, intended as an upgrade for scale RC setup.

Compatibility details: the component fits Hotshot and Super Hotshot models at both front and rear gearbox positions. Hotshot II compatibility is limited to the front gearbox only. Check your chassis mounting points to confirm correct alignment before installing the part.

Installation and tuning impact: the upgrade replaces the gearbox stay area where the stabiliser attaches, aiding centralisation of gearbox and stabiliser mounts. During fitment ensure alignment and that existing fasteners match the hole pattern; the product description does not indicate included mounting hardware.

Can I use this stay to stiffen the chassis for competition setups?

Yes, fitting the aluminium stay can reduce flex at the gearbox/stabiliser junction and contribute to a firmer chassis feel, which many racers use to improve handling consistency. Results depend on the rest of your setup.

What should I prepare before fitting this part?

Verify hole spacing against your current gearbox stay and confirm whether your screws are the right length and thread. The listing does not list included hardware, so have replacement fasteners on hand if needed.
