Default Scale license Plates

I got some metal scale license plates, I'd like to put 1 of them on my element gatekeeper but I'm unsure of where to put it. That it'd be visible, look good and have no worry of it coming off easily.

You could always epoxy it to the receiver box (aka 'fuel cell'), centered, just below the top of the box. It would be visible, and it wouldn't come off. As for "looking good", you're gonna have a tough time with that one, no matter where you put it...but, on the receiver box, it would probably look at least halfway decent.

Visibility and not coming off are priority, thanks! Most definitely consider it

You could also test multiple locations, using tape...view it from multiple angles, see what you like best, and then epoxy it in place.

I used the fake fan mounted on the cage, trimmed it down and made a license plate mount.

For pickup truck type builds, you could also just slap it across the "tailgate", like I did on my SCX24. Or it could be funny to tie it to the rear bumper with safety wire or something, so it can flop around and skip across the rocks. I've seen both of these on 1:1 rigs.
