There will be a cover for the gears, and it most likely will be 1/8" thick (clear) polycarbonate, bent to shape using a flame. There will also be some sort of guard under the diff gear, but I haven't figured that one out yet.
I'm not sure where the "extra" chassis piece came from. I have done very little to the chassis. Maybe it's like that because it's not a Traxxas chassis, but an extended one that came out before the 3.3 chassis?

Nice dimensions on this revo, Metalman. The wheelbase looks just right!

Technically it's not a ripoff because Mike hasn't made for the stock Revo chassis yet :027:. Maybe if Mike does make one for the stock chassis his will be a ripoff of mine :005:.
Good idea for trimming the fins off of the slipper plate! I never would have thought of that... As it is the input shaft is only in the bearing about 1mm, so this should add another 1mm of shaft into the bearing.
Thanks for the comments, guys! :004:
