Yeah, I'm hearing you there. I have sealed the can w/aluminum tape and shoe goo. I have the Hyper 9 mud gaurds coming from a ebay purchase along with several goodies. I will try to make the Mud gaurds work but the body is pretty narrow compared to other guys posts complaining about the over hang, Mine is not to bad, Revised body for the kit I guess ?

Thanks

You could get some sheet lexan (or thin polycarbonate), bend it and screw it down to the chassis. They'd work... Probably...

I had the same bodyshell as you by the way, it seems the others had Proline (or similar) bodies for theirs. I had the Hyper 9 prototype-like shell.

I was thinking that already, I have some .080 thick lexan sheet. I have a sheetmetal break I can make nice crisp lines with. I'm sure the Mud Gaurds are way to big,but if i decide to run a regular body I can incorperate them then. Time will tell.

The Hot Bodies Ve8 body may fit as well, it's really narrow so it may be worth a shot.

Thanks for calling me a 'buggy guru', but you overrate me...
