Alloy front skid guard for Savage platforms

This alloy front skid guard is intended as a scale replacement and performance upgrade for HPI Savage platforms. It offers a rigid mounting surface around the engine and protects the front underside of the chassis during trail and bash sessions. Matching screws, pins and e-clips are supplied so you can replace a worn plastic skid plate without sourcing extra hardware.

Functionally the plate adds structure: it resists abrasion and concentrates loads around the engine mounts, which can reduce flex in the front-end mounting area under heavy use. Correct fitment relies on original Savage mounting points, so alignment and fastener retention are key checks at installation.

Fit tips: inspect existing screw holes and the e-clip grooves before removal, use the included pins and e-clips to secure any moving linkages, and confirm there is adequate clearance from the muffler and engine head after fitting the alloy plate.

Fit this alloy front skid plate when you want a tough, direct-fit replacement for Savage-series trucks and retain the supplied screws, pins and e-clips for reliable mounting and serviceability.

Yes, the plate is designed to use the Savage-series factory mounting points; you should only need to swap brackets and screws rather than modify the chassis.
An alloy plate offers enhanced rigidity and wear resistance compared with a stock plastic skid, giving firmer mounting for the engine area under impact and abrasion.
The product lists screws, pins and e-clips as included, so you should receive the hardware needed to complete the installation.
On installation check for clearance around the muffler, engine head and steering linkages to ensure nothing rubs or binds with the new plate.
The plate strengthens front-end mounts which may slightly alter chassis stiffness, but it is not a tuning substitute for suspension or differential setup.
Regularly check and re-tighten fasteners, clean off mud and grit after runs, and replace any deformed pins or worn e-clips to maintain secure retention.
