This RC alloy gearbox plate is supplied as a 2pcs set and engineered by GPM for direct compatibility with TAMIYA Ford F350, Toyota Hilux and Tundra pickup chassis. The component replaces the standard gearbox mounting interface and increases local stiffness to reduce chassis-induced misalignment under torque.
Fitment is targeted to the named TAMIYA pickup chassis; verify chassis code and mounting hole pattern before assembly. The plate's alloy construction provides a durable, dimensionally stable mounting surface rather than a purely cosmetic change.
Installation procedure: align the plate to existing chassis datum points, verify clearances for spur and pinion gear engagement and suspension link travel, then torque fasteners to factory specifications. Retain OEM fasteners where they meet strength requirements and rotate the driveline by hand to confirm free operation. The plate's role in vehicle setup is to minimise gearbox flex and maintain consistent gear mesh under dynamic load.
