And once shredded, it's a PITA to get off in any decent size pieces.

This is what I use:
2 in. x 50 ft. 20 Mil Pipe Wrap Tape-53550 - The Home Depot
If someone can find one that is more like 4 in wide you could do chassis I think in one shot and trim. I heat this up after applying with a lighter and it helps it stick better.
As its pretty cheap I don't feel bad if i need to pull and replace and its is pretty durable.

i like protectors but i'm kind of spoiled now that they are often available with screw holes, or at least some screw holes. but with this one, it looks like i may be back to the old days of cutting them manually.

thanks for the reply, but i have to admit that all protectors aren't the same, especially with so many options out now. i don't know what you had, but i've never had an experience like that with any of the protectors i've used, die cut or manually cut.

I did find some 4 inch width tape like i mentioned, however they are $$$. if I find one cheaper may try it.

I used this chassis protector and it lasted 4 outdoor races before I removed it to get to some screws. I know it costs more than the mil pipe tape idea, which is great by the way, but it looks cool and it got a few laughs from the corner marshals as they flipped my truck back on it's wheels.

What issues were people having with the nerf bar covers?

Whaaat? How? I use at MOST a total of 150ml (~5oz?) for a two-color short course body, but may even be half that if it's just black If I had to use 20+ oz I'd rather drive with an unpainted body

Also I use at least 4 colors for whatever reason, then promptly destroy the outside of the body's looks.
There's currently 9 cans (black, metallic red & white) I'm looking at under my tv for the next one I do. Luckily I can get paint cheaper, but it's still pricey @ $4 per can for Tamiya colors. Duratrax seems to cover way better. Going a bit simpler w/ colors but a bit crazy w/ masking. Used to paint graffiti as a yoot so I don't bat an eye at way-too complex schemes w/ limited palette.
Airbrush seems like a good idea but I was looking at setups in the $300 range. I'm really into paint again & the thought of spraying on liquid mask makes me smile inside.
I've spent easily $130 on rattle cans this year. Crikey!

i had always cut my own holes for certain holes when using associated sheets or whatever was out at a given time, but i have two from rcdecals with all holes cut and then one from another company that has SOME holes cut - i can't remember where i got it though.
that's why i was thinking maybe someone did one like that for the 410.3 but i haven't found one yet.
i agree on the tbone bumpers helping as skids since the chassis areas they protect often get worn out the fastest. i have a couple trucks with tbone stuff on them and it has worked out well, but, i still prefer combining with a nice quality protector.
i guess it's back to cutting my own holes! life goes on.

I cut chassis protectors out of a sheet of carbon fiber looking vinyl from AutoZone. It's 5 or 6 in wide and the adhesive is weatherproof. Its easy enough to trace out the screw holes with an xacto once you have it stuck on. I usually put it on over the screws, and just cut them out as I need them.
It's easy enough to do that I make my daughters make their own.

Is it just on my side or is the petitrc site , set up sheet page down? I see about 20 listings , but they all have blank set up sheets.
Edit, just my side, ipad. Checked the site on my phone and the site is fine.

There is an app for the icrap's that you have to download, I think it's a acrobat reader or something to that effect.
