Glad I waited....I think the Yamabond will be a better bet.
wet sanding cups to true them up is your best solution... fine paper on slate with wd40 in figure 8 motion... just enough that you can see surface is true... AE gaskets tightened in order.. NO LEAKS... well most of the time..

Below is my RC8 that I modified to run dual trays. The motor mount is Elite RC and the center diff mount is RC Product Designs. Can run without battery swap for 25+ minutes using two 4s 5000mah batteries. Spanks the crap out of the Nitros. The only thing that I will say is that electric systems are not durable enough to run 20 min races at full race pace for any extended period of time. I plan on running it electric class only and run my Nitro with the Nitro classes.

It was awesome not having to rely on a pitman.

Dude, this is the most asked question in this thread over a spam of 4000 posts since December of 2010. "search".

And "this page" already has ur answer on using the mugen gaskets. Just scroll down.... We just talked about it, again.
