Manufactured as a single-piece alloy plate for the HPI Bullet 3.0 platform, this component is intended for RC-scale nitro MT and ST models using the WR8 or Bullet 3.0 front gearbox layout. The part replaces the standard front gearbox plate where increased rigidity and repeatable alignment are required for service or race preparation.
Engineering notes: the plate secures the front gearbox housing and maintains concentric alignment of internal gears and bearing surfaces within the WR8 / Bullet 3.0 front end. A machined alloy option reduces flex at mounting points and supports predictable gear engagement under operational load.
Service guidance: access requires front-end disassembly to remove the original plate, transfer bearings or seals as applicable, and reinstall with the correct hex fasteners. Use standard RC workshop tooling, verify gear mesh and bearing seating during reassembly, and adhere to recommended torque practices to ensure correct component preload.
Application: targeted at technicians and hobbyists maintaining WR8 and Bullet 3.0 nitro MT/ST models, the plate is ideal for post-impact replacements, chassis refreshes during rebuilds, and where a stable gearbox datum is needed for tuning and setup work.
