Forget about the Gear cover, it is a POS. I bought one and they don't even fit right. It rubs on the gears causing problems you never would have had in the first place. I ended up giving it away, a total waste of $20. Just do the alloy a-arms and the alloy a-arm extensions which will move the arms away from the gear. I don't know the part number but RCnuts and FGPerformance carry both the arms and extensions...Your radio is a good one IMO, just be sure to get a fail safe put in as soon as possible...
I didn't realize I needed the extensions and the arms. Thanks for that info. That is also what I figured about the gear cover. Would it be possible to make a gear cover that did the job properly? Perhaps using a rubber boot around the gear shafts?
And Doohan, thanks for the tip on the outer air filter, is that an FG part? What about the cable front brakes. are they expensive?
