Anyone else? Many views and one response?

Ordered one off eBay for £12 about a week ago @ 72.5 x 78 for a custom build I'm starting. This was made for the SCX10 which my chassis rails are very close in size to... I'll report with my findings in about 6 months when it finally arrives in the UK...
This the auction title if you want to check it out; BQLZR RC1:10 Alloy Center Skid Transmission Plate for AXIAL SCX10 4WD Silver
That's from viewing in the UK though so might be different your side!?

You asked for dimensions. I gave you the critical dimensions.

What more do you need?

Re: Skid plate
 

It's not a useful question - if you want to build a SCX-10ish thing you have the dimensions. If you want an average of every skid plate in production you need to do some searching.

Searched skid plate not specific.

Re: Skid plate
 

Thanks. What material do you recommend?

Re: Skid plate
 

I've been researching that very question, what I came up with is cutting board. The white transparent kind not the solid white. Others have found other colors as well such as black.

Is it possible for you to post a pic?"thumbsup"

Cutting board is a very good material to use. Easy to work with, tough, cheap, and even looks good.
