DE Racing RC8 & RC8T mud guards

DE Racing have released two new additions to their line of mud guards with the introduction of versions for the Associated RC8, RC8B & SC8 and the RC8T. Engineered to be direct installation parts, with no additional body trimming or added holes to the suspension arms required, they install in minutes and will protect the rear suspension and drive train components from damage or contamination from rocks, dirt or mud. Proudly designed and manufactured in the U.S.A. from scuff resistant plastic, these mud guards will withstand much more abuse than a thin lexan, or carbon fiber plate and are the latest must have item for your buggy and truggy.
