ive used the thin foam under batteries too, to prevent noise and a bit of shock absorption.

If u are feeling really adventurous with a blade, they sell thicker foam about the same thickness as a RC10 tranny gasket, one could be cut from it, always wanted to try cutting some but never had patience

Re: Substitutes or better alternatives to gearbox seals?

what ive done, which is probably more effort than it is worth, is to take a sheet of hobby foam, like the 3mm stuff like these http://www.michaels.com/Creatology%E2%84%A2-Foam-Sheets/gc1328,default,pd.html?cgid=products-kidsteachers-creatology-foamworld&start=38 -Spray a square of it with 3m adh...
