upon changing my chassis after my crash, i noticed that the heat produced from the exhaust has started to melt the side guard under the exhaust....... is this a common problem? is there a way to prevent it or is there something that can be placed between the exhaust and guard to kinda absorb and dissipate the heat to prevent it from melting?

Bash, Fix, Repeat..
on my baja they sent some aluminum tape to put on the wing where it sits right over the exhaust. you may want to try that..

Gone - bye bye.
You could probably even use aluminum duck tape, that's what I used on the inside of my bodies where they meet/are next to the exhuast.
