This aluminum skid plate is designed as an RC-scale accessory for Axial AX10 Deadbolt and Ridgecrest chassis. It gives a hardened, low-profile surface beneath the chassis to cut down on abrasion to plastic rails and mounting areas during slow-speed trail work.
The listing specifies aluminum with a silver finish, indicating a metal backing plate intended for protection rather than a molded body piece. Its purpose is to guard vulnerable chassis areas and electronics mountings from direct contact with rocks and trail debris.
For installation: position the plate against the AX10 Deadbolt or Ridgecrest chassis mounting points and fasten using the existing screws or matching hardware of the correct size. Inspect clearance around suspension arms and driveline components, and confirm steering travel is unobstructed before regular use. The product description does not state included fasteners.
Impact and tuning notes: fitting a metal skid plate alters how the underside interfaces with obstacles and affects load distribution through the chassis. Consider the plate as part of your protection and tuning setup, and re-check fasteners after initial trail sessions.
