Default Motor Protection?

Ive done some research and cannot seem to find anything about protecting the motor on the RS10. I just received my RS10 in the mail and the motors seem to be pretty exposed....anything out there to protect them?

Thats cool. But, Rock rash looks rad dude! Protect your wires from the links and tires. But the can can handle the abuse.









I just said "can can"

This is what I did on my 540 cans. You would have to find the smallest diameter bottles to work on the 380/390 motors. I asked for some at Wal-Greens, they just gave them to me free.

That is one cool idea.... Nice and cheap, just one question, how is the temperature after the installation? Here in Brazil is pretty hot.

Thanks

Thank you, once my arrives I'll look for something to make one like that then.

Thanks once again for the tip, I'll look for something made out of aluminum to help dissipate the heat.
