There will be another 1/8" sheet of lexan on top of the RC, and part of the displayed side is partially protected by a part of the chassis. The other side will house the battery, which will offer a little more protection. I'm not worried about the sides, because there's a very small space through which a claw or something could poke, but if I change my mind, we can always cover the sides somehow.

The levels of the tower are adjustable, and each level is at least 3.5" apart, so it won't be incredibly difficult to replace breakers, Spikes or Victors. It certainly won't be easy or fast, but it will still be manageable.
