I have read many threads about dirt/dust getting into the 3blx power module and stripping the spur gear. I did the felt tape fix to try to seal it and thought that it was pretty successful until last weekend. Found a new bashing spot which has a lot of loose dirt and fine gravel. Great for driving, but I couldn't believe how much dirt and pebbles got under and behind the power module after. The inside was covered in fine brown dust, so I know that it isn't sealed well enough.
Seems like the next step is to cut a hole in the chassis. Since this is a non-reversable modification, I wanted to get a consensus that this mod does more good than harm. Has anyone had issues with stripping gears and motor bearings after cutting the hole?
