Chassy Covers
 

Anyone use these covers to prevent stuff from covering the Internal Parts I can not find ant for Redcats, Or what do you do to prevent Stuff from the compartment,

Maybe for some inspiration: https://traxxas.com/forums/showthrea...Traxxas-Summit

Thanks, Rusty U know we have Redcats were I could not find these covers for them will look this over and fabricate one TYA Bill

One thing I don't do anymore is run in the muckiest of conditions, heck I don't run my RCs on the track if there is any kind of puddle. Having a blast while controlling a RC, mashing the trigger so hard, throwing crap with all 4 tires :cool:, and maybe even throwing some on yourself...that's a great feeling. Having crap stuck in every corner of your RC, and knowing you gotta clean it later if you want to keep things in good shape...that's gotta be one of the worst feelings (for me anyway). Dust, dirt, rocks, and debris I can handle. Just shoot air at RC, and throw it (RC) in the garage until the next session.

One of these years I might waterproof my gear and let my flying pig of an RC do her thing, but for now I don't have the time to be doing all the after run maintenance ;).

Today was the first time I ever seen someone use a shower cap as some sort of chassis shroud/cover. The problem for me would be working something around the steering linkage.

During the past year of RC rock racer ownership, I've seen quite a few people using those thin, flexible plastic notebook binders as building material for dirt shields.

I agree I had a talk with my grandkids about Maintenance and had them read all these replies. Thanks for the advice. Bill

My buddy and I had one of our race days, after getting a break from the rain enough for the track to dry out enough to run on. But DANG did we get stuff thrown up into our chassis like never before! Plus about two pounds of mud stuck under the body! 😝 A hose and an air compressor will clean and dry the body, but the suspension arms were caked with mud, and the chassis had little mud balls all over the place. It was the first time I was concerned about the receiver, even it had mud on it. I've read that women's nylons make good chassis covers, keeping dirt out, but allowing air to cool the electronics.

The stockings is one great idea definitely try it. just have to find anyone that still wears them:cool:
I will have to investigate if silicon is harmful to the plastic. I am not talking about flooding it just a film.

You mean as a "non-stick film" ? Sure, it won't hurt the plastic. WD40, is also used to clean and shine, as well as a "tire sauce".

Yes as a nonstick surface WD40 evaporates not like silicon that drys to allow a Nonstick surface as a cooking spray. but I fear a cooking spray might gunk things up. You may not experience it But I spray the snow blower interior with Silicon so the snow won't stick Cooking spray gets washed off. by the friction of the snow.
