What effect do you get when running without the shim under the motor guard?
For running without side guards, you do need to replace the part where the front tower plate mount sits on the guards. It has some conical thing to grab onto it. Might have to fashion something up or get it in aluminum. Its a reverse conical washer (the closest description). To replace the guards we can use thin carbon fiber or cut up lexan in that shape for sealing (like the tekno air guards). For the rears can mount the body posts with some washers I think.
