I like to play in the snow and mud, but I don't like trashing radio gear and cleaning up mud. So I spent a whole 2 minutes thinking this up. I was going to use inner tube, but I didn't have any, so I used Gorilla Tape. It seems to work just fine. Best part is when the weather dries up this is easily removed.


I'm going to make some that seal up the body to the chassis along the sides where the body doesn't even come close to fitting.

It's really not that noticeable either...

Pretty well.

I know the buggy has the plastic side guards, but they do little to stop the muck flying by the front suspension. These help, but I think doing the same thing with an inner tube would work much better. The rubber would be flexible whereas the Gorilla tape is not. Greater flex would form a better seal I believe.
 
Another duct taped body. I can run this car to the point you cannot hardly see what color the body is. The inner working of the car remain clean. with the exception of the rear a-arm area. Yep, its functional. Keeps the junk out of the air intake on the recoil starter and lower case area.
