Matt, it was great to meet you too. Seems like you're the local fast guy, would be cool to get some tips from you!

One gripe with this truck, is it me, or does the gear cover suck? First, the black cap to access the slipper nut is not very snug (it came off a few times), second, after screwing it down, the portion near the spur gear gets contorted and leaves a gap for dirt to fly in...

I don't remember this with my FT B4 back then, should I just toss it aside and get an RPM one? I think it's partly user-error, I'm tweaking the top screw down too tight I think... Probably should back off on it and just apply thread lock? I'm just trying to prevent that screw from backing out under vibration and popping the gear cover off...

How are the RPM gear covers? Should I not bother and just get the "semi-transparent" white ones I see on T4s and B4s?
