This is a precision-machined 6061-T6 aluminium main gear cover supplied as a 3pcs set for AXIAL SCX24 Deadbolt gearboxes, part SCX24038GC. It replaces the standard plastic cover to deliver enhanced impact resistance and a metallic path for heat to move away from the spur and motor area during extended use.
Materials and assembly: machined from high-grade 6061-T6 aluminium for consistent strength-to-weight performance, the component is secured with stainless steel cap head screws supplied in the kit. The original source lists one gear cover and two stainless steel cap head screws 1.4x5 for correct mounting to the gearbox housing.
Fitting guidance: remove the factory cover, inspect gear mesh and bearings, then mount the aluminium cover with the supplied 1.4x5 screws using the correct hex driver. Apply correct torque values to avoid thread damage and verify clearance to the spur and pinion before operation.
Performance notes: the cover increases local rigidity around the main gear area and helps conduct heat away from the spur/motor region, supporting thermal stability during prolonged crawling without affecting gear geometry when installed properly.
