Hi all!

Was wondering if someone came up with 3D printed rear chassis side mud guards for Kraton 6s? I don't fully understand why the rear of the car is absolutely open with no attempt to minimize the amount of mud getting inside. The only reason I can think of is for rocks to have an easy way out.

Thinking about designing a part that would keep the snow out. Something like on the pictures below. What do you guys/gals think?

You might be surprised what kind of mods you can get from this one item. :)

I would buy something like that.
However, I would rather have a single piece that runs
the entire length instead of a separate rear piece.
Also, be high enough to sit just under the body.

Good idea 👍
 
If you want to turn the aerodynamics and dirt guards into a short course truck, just buy one 👌🏽

At 40+ mph with open wheels attempting to have air control, all those flat spots around the body become forces.

Would not want to close off the entire rear portion of the car...air flow for cooling.
I would seal the living poop out of it and figure out other cooling methods.
But thats just me. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

You could always just take the piece made, lay a pattern on it and drill tiny holes into the guard.....small enough to keep debris from coming in, and allowing heat to flow out.

Totally different... 🤷‍♂️
