Gearbox Cover

On the Raider, Rocky & Turbo Rocky, the rear gearbox cover is aluminum to act as a heatsink for the manual speed control's resister. I had a factory Kyosho black plastic cover that did not have the resister mounts but no longer have it. Anyone know the part number of that cover or what model used it?

The Raider's was actually plastic. I don't know what if any model used the same cover without the resister mount. The one for the Raider comes in the RD-12 bag.

Thanks, I thought it was also aluminum. I will share something I learned. While cleaning the plastic parts of a Turbo Rocky, I was using Berkible carburetor cleaner on the parts (thay had some dark film that hot water/Dawn wouldn't touch) but only after testing it on a small area because it can damage some types of plastic. All was well until I cleaned the gearbox plastic cover (I knew it wasn't for the Turbo Rocky), the cleaner damaged it. So the plastic used on that cover is not chemical resistant but the rest are.
