Default Hot Racing Delrin skid plate question

I purchased this skid plate.

Hot Racing Axial Scorpion Crawler CNC Machined Delrin Center AX10 DSCP13305 | eBay

When i try and mount my transmission and motor onto the skid its hitting the little tabs on the inside. Am i supposed to use some spacers or something to raise the motor and tranny?

Looks like a bad design. Spacers would work but it would increase your driveline angle.

Check out East End Machining (EEM) for some cool delrin skids for the AX10 or SCX10.

That is a real bad design!!You would be better off putting your money towards a new chassis that has a delrin skid and is half the size of that one!! Hot racing is not known for making good parts and I know this from experience!!

I had a similar design and it is not good. You have to shim the tranny up to clear the upper link. And I snapped mine on a fall. Nothin to crazy I still drove for a little before we stopped and I seen the break and said "so that's what that sound was!"

I ended up trimming down the tabs so they are smooth with the rest of the skid and it worked well. Didnt really wanna shim anything.

Sorry to derail but I have a question...did you buy this from the seller in the posted link? I have wanted to buy a couple parts from "Everything RC" but was hesitant due to his feedback. Good transaction? Ship Quick?

Thanks in Advance...

Check out the vendors section here to see if anyone offers what you are looking for before going out and buying from web stores. Chances are very good that you'll buy a better product here.
