if you want to go this way, props to Tamiya, really. In
1986, tamiya was the first manufacturer to use screw-on bottom caps on their (in)famous and legendary yellow CVA's, enclosing two o-rings as well as plastic guides, and first released on The Fox. Almost everyone's copied them since, barring the odd american manufacturer (AE and Losi, namely) in every category, 10th scale offroad, onroad, 8th scale onroad, offroad...
Give credit where credit is due
