We wanted very much to not have to produce a gear cover. The great majority of our Team experience and the majority of the Family experience is that a gear cover is not needed when the body is snug. And the new Cubed body is snug.
However, some Family experience in short course, and, to a lesser extent, in stadium truck, shows that at some tracks a gear cover might be helpful in those classes where the body fits more loosely. I run only stadium truck and have never had the slightest concern in this area. My driving skill is another matter! LOL
Therefore, the new #1234 motor plate will include two tapped holes for a gear cover. The AE one will not fit; Paul worked for almost a week trying to make it fit so we did not need to make a gear cover, and it simply will not. So, at some point in the future we intend to make a gear cover; however the Cubed will be released without it and the X - 60CF and SCX - 60CF will continue without.
