Aluminium lower gearbox for reliable front end integrity

The JAZRIDER Aluminum Front Gear Box (Bottom) in Light Blue is engineered as a direct-fit, durable replacement for the lower front shell on Tamiya TA01, TA02 and DF01 chassis. The aluminium construction reduces flex and helps maintain correct drivetrain geometry under load.

Material and functional benefits

Aluminium lowers deformation under impact compared with standard plastic parts, preserving bearing alignment and gear mesh. This enhances component life and reduces service intervals for hobbyists seeking dependable everyday performance.

Compatibility and installation

Manufactured to match the original Tamiya mounting points and internal clearances, the unit installs without chassis modification. During installation verify gear mesh and torque fasteners progressively to avoid distortion of the housing.

Maintenance and service advice

Periodically inspect the mounting interfaces and fastener integrity after heavy running. Clean mating surfaces and apply light anti-seize or specified thread locker where appropriate to prevent galling and maintain consistent torque values.

In most cases no shim changes are needed if the original gearbox geometry is preserved. Confirm gear mesh during fitting and adjust shims only if unwanted play or binding is detected.
Use a low to medium strength threadlocker on steel screws in aluminium threads and torque gradually to avoid stripping. Recheck torque after initial runs to confirm stability.
Yes. The aluminium lower shell complements upgraded drivetrains by maintaining alignment; ensure all mating components share compatible dimensions to avoid interference.
