|  Bully Gear Cover I'm looking at the axles I just received,,I love these monsters,,,it looks like the gear covers may cause some clearance issues. Is anyone not using the gear covers,,taping the case or ? |

| They may cause clearance issues for some. I have never ran them just to see how much junk i could get in the gearbox before I had issues but, I haven't had a problem yet. If you want to cover them and they do become an issue with clearance i suggest using it as a pattern and cutting a piece of lexan the same shape  |

| I made a lexan one as well. I only had to space out one of the screws as it was hitting the gear inside. |

| Originally i ran duct tape but they do fit with my Havok build. The bigger issue with them is the motor slipping and changing your pinion mesh. Happens alot. |

The front shocks interfere slightly...not really a big deal, but the lexan idea is a good one. I might make up a new cover this weekend. | |

I have had that same problem.... not sure what a fix would be. I am using a piece of AE chassis protector. Its about impossible to get off so you dont have to worry about the lubricating grease bothering it. | |

| I used a flat piece of lexan from the bottom of a body mold. The lower links on my Havok build had to be bent pretty good to get around the cover and caused a lessened steering angle due to the tires rubbing the links. Once I put the thinner lexan in place, I could take alot of the bend out of the lower links and get a bit of my steering back. |

| I cut mine out of sheet metal. But I think lexan is the way to go. All you do is trace them with an Xacto knife on lexan. |
