Ever get done racing or bashing and have a mess of dirt all over your rear drive shafts? You can thank your front tires and 4WD for this. One of the things I had done on previous trucks is cut some lexan to put over the rear a arms. Lots of pros do this as well. It's a very simple mod that weighs next to nothing and will help keep most of the dirt off of your drive shafts and outdrives. These are cut out of moderately thick lexan. Same stuff your bodies are made out of, so if you notice you have alot of excess lexan after painting a new body (especially behind the rear end). Now you might have a use for it. make sure to cut an angle near the chassis to suit your suspension travel.
These are my first attempt for this truck and I may make some changes depending on where the dirt collects. On most 4wd's it is near the inside right by the diffs where your tires will throw dirt the most. So far the drive cups near my hubs have stayed pretty clean before this mod.
