Default Hot Bodies Ve8

You probably know already, that I have been searching for a 1/8 electric buggy to run on my track, lightly bash and run at my local track.

I saw the Ve8 a while back when it was first released and really wasn't digging the plastic chassis design. Though I came across it again and researched a bit about it and I was amazed at its succession! many bashers and racers are buying this buggy because it's so light and nimble!

Ill cut to the point, I will be picking one of these up in the next few weeks to be matched with 2650 MMM & savox sc-1258tg (not to mention the 4s 5000 30c lipo), and ill be posting a build thread when I get some time to build the thing.

It came into my head that the underside of the chassis is going to get pretty torn up if you run on dirt with small rocks and stones in like myself. So I was wondering if anyone has manufactured an under-chassis skin or plastic coat that will protect the chassis. I do like to keep my kits clean, and keep them as new looking as possible so this would seem like a good idea.

If it hasnt been done yet, then does anyone know where I can get hold of such material with a sticky side which will help protect my chassis when it arrives?

If you have ever seen the t4/b4 chassis sheets you will get what I mean

Cheers
