CNC 6061-T6 centre gearbox for CC02 performance builds

This aftermarket centre gearbox is an engineered RC component for the Tamiya CC02 MERCEDES-BENZ G500 platform. Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium with CNC tolerances, it is intended to reduce housing flex and provide repeatable gearbox geometry under crawling loads, supporting consistent steering input and drivetrain stability. The unit is intended for scale RC use only.

The aluminium housing supersedes the stock plastic centre gearbox to provide a rigid mating surface for internal gears and to tighten dimensional control where the gearbox interfaces with driveshafts and bearings. The higher thermal conductivity of aluminium aids heat transfer away from gear interfaces during prolonged runs, which can stabilise performance over time.

Service and fitment notes: installation requires disassembly of the CC02 centre transmission area. Verify and set correct gear mesh and bearing alignment during assembly to prevent premature wear and binding. Re-check screw torque and engagement after initial testing to confirm long-term reliability.

Specifications

  • Item: Aluminum center gearbox set
  • Material: 6061-T6 aluminum
  • Model Number: CC2038
  • Compatibility: Tamiya CC02 MERCEDES-BENZ G500 (CC02 chassis)

A precision CNC aluminium centre gearbox intended for hobbyists and tuners seeking stiffer gearbox mounting and improved thermal management compared with the OEM plastic housing.

What tolerances should I expect from the CNC housing?

The CNC process provides tighter flatness and bore concentricity versus injection moulded parts, which reduces housing deformation and helps maintain consistent gear mesh under load.

Any recommended bearing sizes or preload?

Use the factory bearing sizes unless your build specifies upgrades; check endplay and preload against original specifications to avoid excessive bearing loads.

How does the aluminium housing affect long-term gear alignment?

A rigid aluminium housing minimises deformation under torque, helping preserve gear alignment and reducing progressive backlash when compared with the original plastic housing.
