Overview
Get the rigidity and heat dissipation of an aluminum motor plate with the lighter weight of a composite case in the Hot Racing Lightweight Composite Transmission Case. This complete drivetrain housing kit pairs a tough composite transmission case with a CNC-machined 6061 aluminum motor plate (featuring integrated heat sink) and CNC-machined aluminum arm mounts — giving you the best of both worlds: lighter overall weight and aluminum-grade motor mounting performance.
For racers and bashers chasing acceleration, the lightweight composite case shaves weight off the chassis while the aluminum motor plate ensures consistent gear mesh and good motor cooling. The longer motor mounting slot also accommodates a wider range of pinion/spur ratios for custom gearing flexibility.
Key Features
- Lightweight composite transmission case
- CNC-machined 6061 aluminum motor plate with integrated heat sink
- CNC-machined 6061 aluminum left and right arm mounts
- Longer motor mounting slot for greater gear ratio range
- Motor plate retains stock Slash rear bumper mount
- Reuses stock gears and transmission internals
Performance Benefits
- Lighter weight than full aluminum cases — better acceleration
- Aluminum motor plate provides excellent heat dissipation
- Wider gear ratio range supported
- Consistent gear mesh from rigid aluminum motor mounting
- Long-lasting composite and aluminum durability
Usage Notes
This is an EMPTY gear case — gears, shafts, bearings, slipper, spur gear, and other internals are NOT included. Reuse your stock Traxxas transmission internals during assembly. Any transmission peripherals shown in product photos (slipper, spur gear, bearings, etc.) are not included. Apply medium thread-locker on motor mount screws.
