Aftermarket Skidplate?

[blackcruzer]

I just bought a rollcage/chassis for a Wraith, but need a skidplate. Just wondering if there or somebody(vendor) making a replacement skidplate for one. I saw the Integy, Hot Racing and Golden Horizon but wanting to see if there was any other option.

Thank You

You're wasting your money if you get an aluminum skid. Buy a stock 1, they are better. Why? They don't add any more weight, they don't hang up on the rocks as much and best of all they are a lot cheaper.

OK, I'll just go ahead and order a stock one. Couldn't really find anything I like anyway.

Thank You

I run a stock transmission pan and this skid plat underneath: Aluminum Axial Wraith Belly Pan Skid Plate | eBay

I saw those, how do they fit? Got any picture?

I can get you one when I get home. I modified mine a bit, just by cutting the upward slanted ends off. I have since ordered another one.


They fit perfect. I slide mine behind my main side panel and you can't even tell it's there.

That's no better than an aluminum skid. Its still soft metal that gouges easily and gets hung up on the rocks 10x worse than a stock stock plate. If you are going to do that than get the 1 that's made by a vendor here and is made of stainless. Much better and actually does slide over the rocks fairly well. Again a stock skid is better than any aluminum 1 or an aluminum skid protector.

i think I'll just go stick with the stock one. If it get beat up enough, it'll be easy and cheaper to replace.

Thank You
