Cobra Racing Front Gearbox Housing – Traxxas Mini Maxx, Mini XRT & Mini Slash

Upgrade a critical drivetrain area on your Traxxas Mini platform with the Cobra Racing Front Differential Gearbox Housing. This part replaces the factory front gearbox / bulkhead housing with a stronger 7075-T6 aluminum upgrade designed to better support the front differential, pinion gear area, and front drivetrain assembly.

The front gearbox housing does more than simply hold the diff in place. It helps maintain alignment, supports the front-end structure, and plays a major role in how well the drivetrain holds up under power, braking, cornering, and impact. When the stock plastic housing flexes, wears, or takes a hard hit, it can affect gear mesh and overall durability. This Cobra Racing aluminum housing gives the front end a stronger and more stable foundation.

Why Upgrade?

If you bash hard, jump your RC, run high-speed setups, or simply want a more durable Mini build, this is a smart upgrade. The 7075-T6 aluminum construction adds rigidity where the factory plastic housing can be a weak point.

• Stronger front differential support
• Helps reduce flex around the gearbox area
• Improves front drivetrain stability
