Default Scale Diff covers

So I've been playing around with creating scale diff covers for the back of the axial axles.

The problem is keeping it scale while allowing it to mount and keeping it from not hindering when crawling.


I've got a few designs in my head and kinda on paper, the scaleness factor is the easy part

My question to the scale crowd is, would this be something your interested in? Would you rather have it glue on and be as scale as possible, or bolt on and loose just a tad less realism then the glue on?

I took a paint marker to mine, and I think an actual diff cover would look better... glue sounds good, but bolt on would be sweet.

X3 for bolt on, even though looking at hte axial axles I suppose it will be difficult to do.

Bolt on, glue on could maybe rip off if hit hard.

It will be tuff to make it look scale because of it size....But if it looked right, it
would be cool.

I'd blue that sucker on and just have it clearanced so that you can still unassemble the axle easily. I think making it bolt on would make it much too bulky and thus lose the scale realism of it.
