Hi guys,

Any one running the Atomic center housing? Will the stock lexan gear cover fit?

Thanks.

...It WILL fit the ATOMIC but it WONT fit the 3R...IMHO its not needed...I dont use it...But to each his own...

I race on dirt.. and I dont use it either. Never had a problem.

Thanks guys..

I guess not much dirt gets there because of the body. And the 3R design is pretty open anyway.. so sand/dirt just come go.. but i think I still like to use the cover..

The Atomics' looks like it'll bend too easily because it has so many separate smaller pieces.. especially the smaller staighter piece.. I could be completely wrong though :) .. any first hand experiences?

Most of you's don't think to high of GPM.. it looks like the cover should fit.. but how is their version of the housing, fit, durable?

...GPM...I used their parts in my Mini Z's no problems at all...But after the problems SmootHound had with his H8 GPM parts i wasnt prepared to go through the same dramas so ther are out of my book...

...The ATOMIC hub is fiddly....LOTS of pieces and ONLY adjustable to take their OWN bigger spur gears...For me it was just too much hassle...

...the pick of the bunch is the 3R unit...Best fit and IMO it actually makes the center diff work better...I once asked them why no diff cover and they replied that thier QUOTE; "R&D people didnt feel it was needed..." :cool:

...I am interested in what KYOSHO might do but for me right now its 3R ONLY...
