under-carriage cover

Spudboy · 10-30-2006, 06:58 PM

I have damaged the under-carriage / large cardboard like piece under the engine. (I don't know what else to call it) I wonder if anybody has any experience or advice as to if I can or should just take it off? Does it serve any purpose other than keeping depris and dirt from the engine? Any cooling effects? Aerodynamics?
I can remove and repair it but maybe it will run cooler without it?
