Hi everyone, does anyone happen to remember who produced this gear cover ?

Who do you race for ?
Me……. I race for me.
That’s impossible, I was told you need a sponsor to race.

It’s like a clam shell, the back of the cover is bolted on under the motor screws and it has a hole for the top shaft to pass through. The front side is compression fit over the back half.

I’m assuming so, I’d love to see if anyone else has one…
I’ve got two back halves and one front.
It may have a couple small cracks in the front half but it really does work extremely well still.

It looks like vacuum formed lexan.
It's a clever idea anyway.

I've seen at least one more around here somewhere. But it is a unique design for sure. I think it's buried in a thread somewhere.... Perhaps one of the RC10 Jedi Masters will know more about it.
Hope you're doin' something fun.

don't remember the post but have seen it around before also. I have one myself around in one of my tub-o-rc10s is the reason why I remember it from the forum...I might've even had someone tell me about it when a rare picture of mine was posted.

I wonder if one of the reproduction body makers could duplicate. Very cool upgrade.
