Quentin,

The RT has its own version of "traction"...lots faster than a locomotive, and a lot better sound system!

Modelcar

....Great visuals again Ed.  Very descriptive....easy to see the "gear covers now"....I note they are made out of rather heavy steel and now I understand with pcs. that sturdy, the two halves can come together with a good solid fit around the seal.

I'm a little surprised to see the open cooling vents right on the motor housing.  Thought they might somehow extend those openings up a bit higher to prevent water getting in so easy.  But I realize that motor is located in such a postion that might be difficult to do.

Yes, us car guys note cars.....and I'm sure you are pleased with yours Ed.  Nice.
