P-51D Mustang Gearbox Assembly Replacement for 400mm 4CH RC Airplane
Fix Stripped Teeth, Eliminate Shaft Wobble, and Restore Maximum Propeller Thrust
The gearbox is the unsung workhorse of your micro warbird, responsible for multiplying motor torque into steady, high-efficiency propeller thrust. Because this compact gear system sits directly behind the prop at the very front of the nose, it takes the brunt of every nose-in landing, propeller strike, or grass crash during low-altitude flights. Over time, these impacts can strip the delicate plastic teeth of the main spur gear, bend the stainless steel prop shaft, or crack the structural mounting housing. A damaged gearbox causes loud grinding noises, loose propeller wobble, severe thrust loss, and excessive vibrations that confuse the internal stabilization gyro. Replacing your worn-out or damaged drive section with this original factory gearbox instantly restores smooth, quiet power delivery, stabilizes your propeller rotation, and brings back the scale high-speed performance of your Mustang.

Integrated Low-Friction Bearings: Pre-assembled with miniature metal ball bearings at key friction points to minimize heat buildup, smooth out rotation, and maximize flight times.
High-Strength Carbon-Hardened Prop Shaft: Equipped with a straight, factory-machined stainless steel propeller shaft featuring an integrated flat notch for secure, slip-free spinner mounting.
Lightweight Shock-Resistant Frame: The black reinforced compound housing holds the gears in permanent alignment while adding minimal weight to the nose of your 400mm warbird.
Compatibility
For the P-51D Mustang 400mm 4CH EPP RC Airplane only. Full model page (specs & photos):
Accessing the Engine Compartment: Carefully peel open or unscrew the foam nose cowling of your P-51D Mustang to expose the damaged gearbox unit; slide the old motor out of its mounting rear sleeve.
Aligning the Drive Pinion to the Spur Gear: Before securing the new gearbox (as shown, slide your small coreless motor into the rear cylindrical bracket; ensure the brass pinion gear on the motor shaft aligns smoothly with the teeth of the white main gear without pressing too tightly.
Securing the Gearbox to the Fuselage: Insert the complete gearbox assembly into the internal foam alignment tracks in the nose; secure it with the factory micro screws using the pre-molded mounting eyelets to prevent any axial play.
Reattaching the Propeller and Test Spinning: Slide the propeller saver adapter back onto the notched stainless steel shaft; spin the prop by hand to ensure the gearbox turns freely without binding before powering on your transmitter to run a low-throttle test.
