Yuka Mini Lower Guard – Front Lower Bumper

After multiple community suggestions and based on my own experience, I noticed that the Yuka Mini tends to wear down on the lower front area of the chassis during regular use.

Small impacts, terrain contact, and debris can cause scratches and premature wear in this area. This design was developed to address that issue: a Lower Guard / front lower bumper that adds an extra layer of protection to this critical zone.
