    Very Cool Clear Cover

    It won't make your truck faster or stronger but this optional Traxxas part is very cool. It is the optional clear gear cover and besides looking cool, it allows you to see if there are rocks, dirt, etc. in your pinion/spur gears. I have sealed both ends of the driveline (heat shrink on the driveshaft, plugged the water drain holes and the foam plug for the diff hole but still dirt, sand and rocks get into the gears. Now I can take a quick look and see if I need to get in there and clean out the junk.

    I believe you are the first one to get one of the clear covers (PN 6877A)... indeed cool.

    I got it from BuyTraxxas.com but normally Traxxas sends parts out to retailers/LHS first then makes them avaialble on their site.

    Is it a composite material or hard plastic? If its hard plastic hopefully it doesnt become brittle and crack over time...

    I just bought RTR front caster and steering blocks at my LHS he had 2 sets of each, he had body mounts, front & rear control arms, turn buckles can't remember every thing but he had 8 different items. So they must be coming out slow
