What is the point of running the mud guard?

Yes. 2 easy solutions:
1.) Slightly trim the body to clear these screws (what I chose).
OR
2.) Use a counter sink bit on the mud guard and use a flat head screw instead of a button head.
Trimming the body just enough to clear the screw does not affect its strength nor longevity.

The battery tray on the EB48 is quite robust and will allow you to use any standard 4s racing battery. As well, there is room to move the cells forwards or backwards for tuning purposes.

I've been running the universals everywhere and they have been great👍🏻...As far as where there should not be much. However if you see for example see the pin slipping out it will be time to replace it.

For my track I did.....It made the car super ALIVE....I did change a few things.... Went 2.7 sway bars front and rear and pink front and red springs...a few other things but it was more track dependent.....gives the car A lot more roll. Definitely bump up your anti squat.....ran out of town at sdrc and universals ran fine....my local track is super loose and rough

What are the advantages of running the universal drive shafts? Also how do you guys clean your buggy?

Universals excell when the track is rough or bumpy conditions. Unlike a cva they won't bind in a rut and will be free and roll through it. Maintaining them will be at a minimal. Also by freeing up the suspension you are allowing to let the car roll more. This is why you need to adjust you suspension such as thicker sway bars, heavier springs,and your anti squat. Now this an option part and is not meant to replace the cva. The cvs on smoother tracks will perform better because as they bind you will intern get more grip/ traction and stiffen your suspension.

Is there supposed to be oil in the diff housing (not the casing) or are my diffs leaking?

Watch Ryan's recent video with a few additional recommendations: You can use a piece of sand paper to lightly take a small amount of material off the diff cup to ensure it's flat. Do not over tighten the screws at all, just snug is enough. Take a little oil and put it on both sides of the blue diff seal, and use a fresh one.

Just to reiterate what was mentioned above about the Universals vs. the CVA's, as well as provide some FYI, based on my recent experiences.
My local track is an outdoor, rough, medium traction track. The minimal testing (due to rain over the past 6 weeks) that I've done, made me feel that the Universals were an improvement over the CVA's with little to no other suspension changes.
2 1/2 hours north of me is Flowood R/C in Flowood, Mississippi: an indoor, relatively smooth, high speed, hard packed surface. There's a huge Tekno presence there, with some very fast local racers (both sponsored and not). To my knowledge, none of them have been running the Universals (just yet).
I've raced there twice with the Universals and practiced a third time where I wanted to go back to back (Universals to CVA's) to see the difference. Long story short, my top 5, 10 and 15 lap averages dropped just a little over 0.5 seconds going from Universals back to the CVA's. Track conditions changed very little (if at all) in between these 2 tests. No other suspension changes were made during this test. Just simply running a battery with Universals, then swapping them for CVA's the next battery. I was faster with the CVA's.
I'm not saying that I couldn't have made some other changes to quicken the car up on this track while running the Universal's. I simply chose the CVA's as the racers that I am chasing down have long been running CVA's and going plenty fast with them on this smooth, high speed surface.
I hope to do the same back to back testing back at my home outdoor track. Just can't catch a break in this weather pattern that we're experiencing down here.
