Default ***SMW - SCX Skid***




SMW is proud to present a new option skid for the SCX10 line of trucks






Noteable features:

Skid is fully CNC machined in-house from Acetron GP-Acetal Co-polymer
A more compact profile than stock
Smooth radiused curves throughout
Link pockets angled at 15 degrees to straighten out your rod ends and smooth out your articulation
This also aids in the installation of AR60 axles on to your SCX10 frame



Purchase includes:

(1) SMW - SCX Skid
(4) M3x5 SS Button Head Screws
(2) M3x14 SS Flat Head Screws
(2) M3x10 SS Flat Head Screws
(4) M3X20 SS Set Screws
(1) SMW Sticker

NO LONGER INCLUDED
(1) CF Transmission Shim


***Warning***
*This is not a direct bolt on for a stock truck*
Link pockets sized for Traxxas Revo rod ends
Skid mounts to the narrower set of "boss" holes in the stock SCX10 frame
These holes will need to be enlarged to 1/8" to allow clearance for the 3mm mounting hardware
Hardware is provided for installations NOT requiring the transmission shim
If using the shim, longer hardware is suggested


Please PM me to purchase

You should change professions from Machinist to Artist. That thing is machined as art. Wow, I'm blown away with this skid.

Funny story. I'm a CAD guy (aka office b!tch) not a machinist but I'll take that as a double compliment so thanks!

I can't help you there. Maybe someone from the proto batch can share a picture?

Very nice machining! The GMade Sawback really needs a new skid plate! Hint, hint!

For the ones that use standard axial and traxxas rod ends the standard ball ends will have to be swapped out for revo or jato ball ends.

As you can see standard ball end on the right and revo ball end left.

I received mine today, Thanks Rob!
This thing is a work of art, so clean and fit and finish is incredible.
Nice packaging...

All the parts laid out before install...

A couple close ups...



Here's mine mounted up on my C2 f100...

Set screws to mount lower links...

Lots of clearance...

Showing a little support for a local vendor on my C2 RMSN entry...

I beat on my skid pretty good @ RMSN last weekend and it held up great! There appears to be just a touch more clearance from stock but the smaller contact area made break overs and other transitions where a stock skid would usually make contact much smother.
I also could really tell the difference in my link geometry by how much smoother and how freely they moved when making off camber climbs.
