This two piece aluminium transmission housing is an aftermarket upgrade tailored for the Axial SCX10 II Jeep Cherokee platform. The component replaces the plastic transmission case to provide a metal alternative where enhanced heat transfer and a more rigid gearbox mount are required for heavy trail use or competitive setups.
Installation is a methodical process that involves careful removal of the original case and methodical reassembly of the internal transmission and driveline components. Competent workshop practices and standard RC tools are advised; verify gear mesh, bearing alignment and fastener torque during reassembly to avoid drivetrain wear or noise.
From a performance perspective the aluminium housing improves heat conduction away from internal gears and produces a stiffer gearbox mounting surface that can alter drivetrain feedback and tuning choices. Use this case as part of a considered drivetrain upgrade path when increased durability and thermal control are priorities.
Intended for experienced hobbyists upgrading the SCX10 II drivetrain, this aluminium case should be fitted with care and inspected after initial running to confirm correct operation.
