Default WK gear cover ??

Is a gear cover necessary?I don't want to get dust in the spur and pinion, but I want to run a 96 tooth spur.If not I don't think a 93 will mesh with a 15 t pinion. I tried. Even shaved tranny a bit and it still won't fit. THoughts?

Well that's not very reassuring lol! There has to be another option. I don't want rocks chewing up the spur. That is however a last resort.

It's pretty dusty where I play, so I am still a bit worried about junk getting in the gears. What about grinding away some of the gear cover? Son't know if that will work and I don't like the idea of no going back mods, but has anyone tried this?
