Sealing the bottom hole of trans case with FOC?
 
What do you use to seal the bottom trans case when running the FOC because the felt sticker is not durable.

Yeah, that little sticker is a stupid. I CA glued it on, and then I coated it with another layer of CA. I don't know how well it will hold, but it's working so far.

sounds like a good idea, until it comes time to clean and service the trans. any other ideas anyone? I was thinking bout trying some type of silicone sealer. but unsure how it would work. im thinking of something strong but easily removeable for serviceing and maintenance.

:D nah man, I've already had to remove it once. I don't think it will hold up to another scraping with the razor blade... but like I said, it's working so far. I'll come up with something better later, I was just offering something that would make you feel better about running it. I didn't want to worry about it falling off so I just did this to get it back going. it will hold up until you find something else. I think it was Mikewoodkozar that came up with some type of plug you can use.

I would recommend silicone or shoe goo. One of the two will work. I think shoe goo is better, since it is easier to apply, and is very useful on other aspects of RC

I used a grub screw to plug the bottom hole
