Clutch eating sidepanel

[rx1tonofun]

I've gone through two side panels on my clutch side on my 10se nytro. At Cooke right now and have to order my third. Almost thinking of building a 1/2 shroud to keep the panel from getting pushed into the clutches, any suggestions would help. Snow is ok not epic.

2 panels?? I don't think mine have ever made contact to the panel. Where is it hitting? Bottom, front or side.

Are some of the rocks and holes getting filled in at least? In Cooke..

Both panels get pushed up and the. Clutch wipes out the two lower tabs on the large pane. Then the clutch eats the span between those tab slots on the lower panel. Then it gets packed with snow and yah I'm done. Cooke needs a lit more snow. There are places to play and mist of the Ricks are the size if semi trucks, kinda hard to miss. It's dumping snow right now.

Had the same thing happen racing cross country. When bashing through the big holes the snow would push the panel up into the clutch and knock a hole in it. In my first race my clutches were packed with snow and the engine was bouncing off the rev limiter from the belt slipping. We found the Float skid plates to prevent the issue since they had "wings" that extended out under the side panels.
