Stainless Steel roof flashing is stronger than a can. Cheap as well. A hood from an xmod would also work. I use 2 layers of vinyl sticker sheet on my 1/8 scale nitro buggy and after 1 race season and bashing the chassis still looks brand new.

Ya mine you dont have to leave home to get it and a xmod doesn't have the power of nitro lol and my idea is lighter.

It's a plate that the car skids on when it contacts the ground, rocks, kids, branches, ect.
