This aluminium transmission spur gear cover is an aftermarket replacement produced for TRAXXAS 1/10 Craniac Monster Truck owners who need a more rigid, serviceable housing for the spur gear area. The single-piece unit carries model number CRA038GC and is intended for RC-scale applications.
Manufactured from aluminium alloy, the cover increases enclosure rigidity compared with the original plastic component, helping to resist impact and keep spur gear mesh stable during heavy use. The design also reduces dirt and debris ingress to the spur gear and neighbouring gearbox components in demanding conditions.
Fitting should be carried out by hobbyists comfortable with basic drivetrain checks: remove the stock cover, confirm spur gear alignment and backlash, position the aluminium cover and secure it with the original mounting screws. Confirm fitment on the TRAXXAS 1/10 Craniac Monster Truck chassis before final tightening.
After installation, monitor gear mesh and bearing condition as the stiffer housing can alter load distribution through the drivetrain. Follow routine RC maintenance and inspection procedures to ensure consistent, reliable operation.
A technically focused upgrade that enhances protection around the spur gear while maintaining the original driveline architecture.
