The main thing to know is the gear cover screws can strip out easily. Drilling through and putting a nut on the underside will help. Sometimes you even have to shim the spur gear shaft to keep it from hopping.

The screws are fine (personally I hate hex heads)

Its the plastic tub that strips out after pulling off the gear cover or overtightening it.

Funny thats why I like normal screws... I have a nice tamiya builders 8 screwdriver set but no fancy hex keys (just the little L wrenches)

I'm glad you like it man and now it won't be just sitting on the shelflol. Have fun with it and I never had a problem with my 2 cco1's with the gearcover So I would say don't worry about it unless your going to put something crazy in for electronics. Have fun crawlin,

Jason
