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 think I just found it by accident thumbing through the December 90’ issue of RCCA !!

Oh, okay.
I was gonna guess Tuperware.
Seriously, I have never seen that "dust cover" until now. I reckon it's rare??

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.

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.MarkyDents wrote: ↑Sat Mar 20, 2021 2:16 pm Hi everyone, does anyone happen to remember who produced this gear cover ?2B9E2FAC-43E8-4A5D-9998-FE3A3F1AAC9A.jpegF3BC0088-6491-47AA-8A33-361B4E577715.jpeg
