Good call on the clear diff cover. The painted wing looks good too!

Yes, I like the wing painted and unpainted. I just need to get dedals for both. For gear covers those are the only ones I have and it's not very good fit with B4 slipper. Did the rere world's car come with black cover or a clear one? I think I can use this on turf but for dirt tracks I don't know it it is enough.

The World's rere came with a black cover, part number 6566.

I like clear cover more, is there anything reasonably priced available which fits with B4 slipper?

I am currently using ASC #7461 (clear cover for B4) and it works with only upper screw both on my RC10 and TRF201.

Of course, it could be more air(dirt)tight with both screws and it could clear better the turnbuckle ball cup.

I didn't like the blue anodized parts on B5 big bores so I deanodized them. They look more old school to me now. I'm not sure if I use them on this car or NIX10M but it's always good to have choices.

Car's looking really good - That's a cool idea the shock deano thing :)

RPM gear cover died black is a great solution I think, I'm using it on one of my cars. Cheap and robust, but you need to dye it. Much nicer looking that AE's 6566 which looks too modern I think.

you can also try TBG's clear gear covers repop. I *think* they should clear up the B4 slipper :)

Grear car!

Thanks! I hope it drives well too. I wasn't so happy with world's car or B2, but that was on indoor concrete track and I didn't have so much track time yet. NIX10M was great on concrete but on EOS carpet I couldn't get it working as I wanted.

What is going on with TBG? Are they closed for good? EBay shop says they're closed until further notice.

OK, I'll send the a mail. That will be the only part I need anymore and I think I can use the original for now.

I made rear bumper out of kydex and it came out pretty good. My motor plates are all more or less bent but for a runner they will do. I picked out the less bent one and made the bumper fit. Now it's time to go out and test the car.

I found pink Yokomo 2.2ā€ wheels from ebay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/392041643353

Iā€™d like to use those at rear. Are there any adapters available?
