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?
hey its Matt on my buddies comp.
I use this on my truck. havent had a single issue with it yet.

but you shouldnt have a problem with the stock one. You might be running too hot and warping the cover while its cranked down.......wayboarder knows his chit.
im going to be back out there for racing tomorrow. I just finished up a new body that i was in BAD need of. 4.5 hours to complete it....i dont know how the guys who do it all the time handle it......jeez no fun at all. But now my idea is real. I couldnt think of anything so i just started laying down pin stripe. Not bad for my first body that isnt ALL white. lol
