TAPE IT! Duct tape is very useful, especially for extremely muddy conditions. The most important place for it is over the fuel tank inlet. It helps keep the mud and water out of the body shell and the area around the fuel tank lid. If applied properly, it will help keep dirt and water out of the fuel tank when you open it. To do this, you’ll have to make a couple of flaps out of duct tape and then stick them to the body. If you do this right, the flap will open when you pull on the fuel tank lid and then close again when you let go. Other important areas to tape are around the body, taping the body shell to the side guards, the shock towers, and the webbing on the suspension arms. Yuichi Kanai is a master at this. He regularly applies tape to the suspension arms to keep mud out of the webbing. Cody looks like he’s used to being sprayed! WWW.VRCMAG.COM 59
