GPM Racing Aluminium Front Gear Box Cover for Traxxas 1/7 Unlimited Desert Racer-85076-4 (UDR012A)

Precision CNC front gear box cover for TRAXXAS UDR

This precision CNC aluminium front gear box cover is an engineered aftermarket upgrade for the TRAXXAS UNLIMITED DESERT RACER platform. It provides a rigid housing for the front differential while the machined aluminium surface improves thermal conduction away from internal gearbox components. The part is supplied as a multi-piece kit aimed at hobbyists and tuners requiring durable, dimensionally accurate replacements.

Manufactured using CNC processes with a bearing-guided mounting interface, the cover reduces dimensional tolerance at the gearbox opening to preserve gear alignment under dynamic load. The package includes stainless mounting hardware sized for the cover to enable a direct replacement of the standard plastic housing.

Install this component to increase front gearbox stiffness and to aid passive heat transfer during extended operation. Proper bearing seating and controlled screw torque are recommended to achieve specified alignment and longevity.

Specifications

• Item: Front Gear Box Cover – 7pcs set
• Material: Aluminium
• Model Number: GPM UDR012A

A direct-fit, CNC-machined aluminium replacement for the stock front gearbox cover on TRAXXAS UDR platforms that improves rigidity and thermal dispersion without changing the drivetrain layout.

What engineering benefits does a CNC cover provide over plastic?

CNC aluminium offers tighter dimensional tolerances, increased stiffness and superior thermal conductivity compared with injection moulded plastic, which helps preserve gear alignment and dissipate heat.

Are there recommended torque values for the mounting screws?

Torque should be sufficient to seat the cover without compressing plastic bosses; use a low torque setting or a calibrated driver and tighten incrementally in a cross pattern for even clamp load.

Does the design require bearing replacement during fitting?

Existing bearings commonly fit without replacement, but inspect bearing condition and replace if there is play to ensure the cover achieves the intended alignment benefits. Write Product Review Please sign in your account before you can write any review. Sign In Close
