Grass clippings shield

[Blue Herron]

So this could go in any category I think because it occurs on all my cars because of where I drive. Most recently running the Et410 so this is where I put it
Anyway… I live on almost 4 acres of property and a pretty big yard broken up into different sections due to a pond and a couple out buildings. Not a highly groomed yard. I don’t rake and I don’t use a grass catcher. Hence they’re our grass clippings that like to wrap around the axels.
Not a huge problem and I routinely remove them but there’s times when it gets such I that I’ll start diffing out in the rear.
Was thinking about making some kind shield to attach to the suspension arms to minimize this, using a section of a plastic water bottle comes to mind.
Anyone else here seen or done something like this?
Thanks!

maybe mud guards might do the trick?

The 1/8 buggy arms have pre-drilled holes, but you'll probably need to drill custom holes on the ET410 to make them work and/or trim down the guards to fit as needed.

Thanks for that! I might not need to reinvent the wheel!

Just ordered 2 pair. Do not have pre-drilled holes on the ET 48 but that’s easy
I’ll see what I have to do on the ET 410.
Thanks again!

Waiting for the mud/grass shields
Kind of surprised when I pulled the body today after running in my lawn.
Could be a fire hazard if I got too hot but only hit 128 after 1 batt pack.

Maybe need some side shields too!

No. Keep the chassis as open as you can. At least that's my thoughts while running an ET410. I run the JConcepts Finnisher body as the back end is open... lets more crap escape out the rear end. I deal with small pebbles, and some dead grass/weeds every run. Even though, every once in awhile, I get a pebble in spur... I believe the openness of the rear of the chassis is my saving grace.

Leaf blower time.
