Yeah, the top case rocks side to side if you hold down the input shaft side... the opposite side has ~1mm of space between the back screw holes. Furthermore, if you just press the case down in the center, it rocks side to side given that ~1mm of warpage. The input shaft bearing would not fit at all in my top cases, no matter how hard I pressed, I measured the hole to be just over 9mm in diameter

I agree about the fitment issues. I'll see what the Tamiya officials had to say about my cases (they made their way to TCS nationals ), but for now I'm just hoping Exotek or someone will have mercy on us and produce some blue anodized alternatives
