Default losi eight-t guard?

Does anyone know for the losi eight-t where to get the carbon fiber guard that mounts to the rear a-arms to keep the dirt off of the axles and everything?

I've heard that the carbon fiber shields tend to chip and eventually break due to stress as they are not as flexible as the lexan. I'm using the Losi lexan sheilds as I got them for $4 for the pair and for the money it wasn't worth the effort to make my own. LOL... yea... call me lazy...

make a design that will actually deflect the dirt n jazz then cut it out and bolt it up....Make sure to use some decent sized washer's or they will Juts crack the first big hit they take....pretty simple if u ask me..and keep them cemetrical so it looks decent...Unlike my pop bottle over here.
