SHIROI Best way to protect Shiroi against wet leaves and grass?

[Jorge]

I just got my Shiroi, took it out for a first spin around the yard, and afterwards it looked like that. Are there any chassis covers or something that would keep the unwanted grass and leaves out. I do not feel like doing a 2 hour deep clean after every session this time of year.

Even when it's not wet:

It's certainly possible to add a dust cover and mudguards
(example picture from the internet, not mine)

Although it helps, cleaning is still necessary and it will restrict airflow as well. Therefore i don't use them (i had one on my arrma fireteam).
Aircompressor and a waterhose are your best friends. When you use water (or when you already drove in the wet), make sure you run you bearings dry after cleaning...

My experience is that it is better not to spin the bearings at all after cleaning with water, because the water will enter the bearings.
Just let the car dry completely before running again.
