Look at the first couple of post in this thread and you can see the proto type covers. They are very much needed on a new track or any track that has dirt balls the size of a pencil eraser. I tore up 2 diff gears in 3 days when our track was rebuilt and there was loose dirt not cleaned off yet. I didn't tear up a belt.
Thanks for the pic of your car.

I only plan on running mine in the fall/winter months.
I run the other car in spring and summer.
So dirt balls dont concern me on an indoor clay, where pink-taper slicks will work.
My other car has encased diffs.
