Just about every 1/8th scale has at least the front CV joints exposed. And not even all have rear boots on the CVs. It's very hard to have covered front joints where the boots hold up, due to the steering angles. Any lip you add for a boot to attach to, will probably limit your max steering angle. Rear boots only have to withstand up and down suspension travel.
